Get to know some Reclast patients - Rhoda
Welcome Linda
"When I broke my arm in an accident a few years ago, I found out that I had low bone density. I started taking calcium and vitamin D for my bones, and once I recovered, I began exercising to strengthen my muscles. Unfortunately, when I had my BMD retested last month, my doctor told me I have osteoporosis.

"He talked to me about different treatment options, as well as how to do more with diet and exercise. I'm still working and travel frequently, so I need a treatment that fits my lifestyle.

"I had read online about a once-yearly infusion for osteoporosis. I give blood regularly, so I'm not bothered by needles. When my doctor told me it takes 15 minutes, I was very interested.

"Strengthening my bones is important to me and the once-yearly dosing of Reclast is particularly appealing. My doctor and I decided together that Reclast was the right choice for me."
