Tips

• Since Reclast can cause dizziness as a side effect, it is very important to be extremely cautious when using heavy machinery, operating a vehicle or participating in any type of activity that involves being alert. Users of Reclast should also consume minimal alcohol.
  
  

Drug Interactions

• Drug interactions can happen when more than one medicine or dietary supplement is being taken at the same time. Drug interactions can lead to unpleasant side effects, as well as increased or decreased effectiveness of one or more of the medicines that are involved. Some drugs and supplements that can lead to interactions with Reclast include diuretics, aminoglycoside antibiotics (these can cause damage to the kidneys), mineral supplements, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (abbreviated as NSAIDs).
