Took Aclasta (zoledronic) Injection. Had Fever, Stomach Pain, Back Pain. How Long Does It Take To Strengthen Bones?
Thank you, I had an Aclasta (zoledronic) injection on Friday I have never felt so sick in my life, had a fever but that has passed, still have stomach pains...I am getting better although my back is very painful. Just reading about this 12 month injection I have had how long does it take for it to strengthen my bones & can I go to gym. Now I am worried about my teeth what will happen to them. Thank you

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
This is a bisphosphonate and it takes upto 4 weeks to show an effect. Since this was your first injection, you will experience the side effects first. Do start with calcium supplements also.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
