I have had three Zometa infusions with no side effects-my doc gives me a steroid iv prior to the Zometa, and that seems to do the trick for me! Good luck!

I've experienced bone pain in my ribs. They recommended Claritin for ithe pain and it works. I was skeptical at first. I was told to take Claritin 5 days before the Zometa infusion. The same day and 3 days after. @

Thanks for sharing! I'm curious, did your team explain why Claritin? What about it helps with the pain? Warmly, Patty, Team Member
