Q: reclasp iv side effects

I received reclasp at age 69 in July 09 for the first time..2 weeks later got a hair perm which did not take..repeated 1 mo later thinking it was bad perm. Hair responded better but some areas still did not hold curl well. Was asked about possible new med and remembered the reclasp. Also notice hair has gotten thinner and also notice alot of hair comes out in comb or brush even if used gently. This has never been a problem before. I keep checking this web site but have never seen any reference to this possible side effect.  Can anyone give me any information/feed back on this???

Hi jad, welcome and thanks for your question.  I'm having the exact same problem, but I've never taken Reclast.  I'm not sure what's causing it, but I would imagine my age has a part in this.

 

Here's a discussion about this at the National Osteoporosis Foundation that you could read. I'm not sure if Reclast is the cause, but you could check it out.  The drug company, Novartis, does not list hair loss as a side effect.

 

Good luck figuring this out...
