Short answer: The Reclast Medication Guide says: if you miss a dose of Reclast, call your doctor or healthcare provider to schedule your next dose. The prescribing information gives no other missed-dose rule. Reclast is a single 5 mg infusion given once a year to treat osteoporosis, or once every 2 years to prevent it after menopause.
| Situation | What the label says |
|---|---|
| Schedule | 5 mg infusion once a year (treatment) or once every 2 years (prevention) (2.2, 2.3) |
| Missed a dose | Call your doctor or healthcare provider to schedule your next dose (Medication Guide) |
| Before the infusion | Drink at least 2 glasses of fluid within a few hours (Medication Guide) |
The Medication Guide says: "If you miss a dose of Reclast, call your doctor or healthcare provider to schedule your next dose." The prescribing information does not set a late window or a new schedule.
Reclast is given into a vein over at least 15 minutes by a nurse or doctor (section 2.1). Before each dose, kidney function is checked (section 2.7), and the Medication Guide says to drink at least 2 glasses of fluid, such as water, within a few hours before.
