Zoledronic Acid
Zoledronic Acid is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs called bisphosphonates. It is primarily used to treat conditions related to bone health, such as osteoporosis and Paget's disease. By inhibiting the activity of cells that break down bone, it helps to strengthen bones and reduce the risk of fractures.
This medication is typically administered through an intravenous (IV) infusion, usually once a year for osteoporosis or more frequently for other conditions. Common side effects may include flu-like symptoms, fever, and muscle pain. It is important for patients to discuss their medical history with their healthcare provider before starting treatment.
