hello welcome to healthcaremagic.

I am Dr. Arpit varshney and i will surely help you out.

reclast is zoledreonic acid. it is a bisphosphonate. thes drugs inhibit osteoclasts which cause bone resorption. so basically these drugs prevent bone breakdown.
these are mainly prescribed for osteoporosis.

i do not know exactly how long ago this medication was approved but its not been v. long. its in phase 4 of its trial.

side effects are not much and are simpler like nausea,tiredness,fever, chills, muscle/joint aches,cough,dizziness,headache,vision problems,diarrhea.

if you are experiencing nausea and vomiting please take pantop D or ondansetron.

if it doesnt resolve please talk to your clinician about changing your drug because there are other drugs available for osteoporosis.

I hope this helps.

please feel free to revert back in case of any further concerns/queries.

i wish for your good health

thank you.
