Pamidronate 6mg/ml Sol, 10ml: My Experience and Questions About Side Effects

I've been prescribed Pamidronate to manage high calcium levels due to my cancer treatment. I've read about the serious side effects, which are scary, but I'm hoping to hear from others who have been on this medication. How common are these side effects, and what can I expect? Are there any tips for managing them? Does anyone have experience with the jawbone problems mentioned?

I had a horrible allergic reaction to Pamidronate. Swelling and trouble breathing. Went to the ER and they immediately stopped the infusion. Be cautious and have medical help nearby.

Keep an eye on your urine and any changes in output. I ended up with kidney issues and had to switch meds.

I've been on Pamidronate for a few months now, and I've had some nausea and dizziness, but nothing too severe. Stay hydrated and talk to your doctor if you experience anything alarming.

I had no idea this medication could cause such severe side effects. I've been reading about it and it's scary stuff. I hope everyone here is doing okay

I thought I was having a heart attack from the weird chest sensations, but it turned out to be a scary side effect. Got it sorted out with my doctor.

Just started Pamidronate a few days ago and I already feel like garbage. Gonna call the doctor tomorrow.

My mom was on Pamidronate for a while, and she didn't have any serious side effects. Just some mild fatigue and sweating, but she managed it okay

Re: electrode problems - drink lots of fluids if you can. It helps with the seizures

I thought this was a joke at first but nope. I'm on the other end of this talking about my swollen hip. Doctor thinks I might have to stop the Pamidronate. Sucks
