Plainfield, CT

I was given Zometa for the first time but the drip rate was 8 minutes. Upon reading about zometa, the minimum time states 15 minutes.

I have had numerous Zometa infusions and never experienced any side effects. Was having a monthly infusion...now I am having an infusion every four months...No effects what so ever.

Had my second dose over an hour rather than 8 minutes and the next day I was just achy. I did drink a lot and took tylenol. I was fine the next day.

Sorry to hear that but I understand as my first dose really made me sick. I couldn't move with out vomiting. I received it in an IV and they now give two bags of fluid and then the bag of zometa and that makes a huge difference. Super hydrate before you get the drug. Good luck!
