Hi Wanda, welcome!  According to Novartis, if you have met your deductible, it's under $60.00.  I understand you don't have insurance, so you'd have to contact the infusion center and ask.  There are many posts here that complained about being charged thousands of dollars for this, so I just don't know the answer.

 

Be sure to weigh the risk v benefit on this drug, before you proceed.  Some have side effects from this and some don't. 

 

I would call around and ask this question, and be sure you've read as much as possible on this drug.  We need to research all medications so do your due diligence so you can be well informed. Smile

 

Here's the link to Novartis that mentions the cost above http://www.reclast.com/info/about-reclast/about-reclast.jsp

 

Good luck!
