    Amy…If today you still have the fever than I would make sure to contact the physician.
    Please, stay in touch.
    All my best wishes,

    Hi,
    Fever is a common side effect of Zometa infusion.(44percent chance)You can take Tylenol or ibuprofen to lower the temp and make sure you are stay hydrated.
    If no improvement after a day or two,call your doctor for further instruction .
    Flu like symptoms–tiredness is also a side effect of Zometa.
    Also make sure you are taking calcium 500mg and vitamin d 400units daily while you are on Zometa.

    I had my first Zometa treatment with my 2nd round of chemo yesterday. i spiked a fever, going all the way to 102.4. Still running a fever today, though controlled to a degree with Tylenol. I am so tired.

    Was wondering if others have had this side effect, and did it occur after every treatment, or did it eventually stop.

    thanks
    amy
