How it works:
Zoledronic acid is a third-generation bisphosphonate that inhibits osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. This action helps maintain bone density, lowers the risk of skeletal complications, and effectively treats hypercalcemia associated with cancer. It is widely used in patients with metastatic bone disease and those at high risk of fractures.
Recommended For:
Postmenopausal women with osteoporosis
Cancer patients with bone metastases
Patients with multiple myeloma
Individuals with malignancy-induced hypercalcemia
Adults at high risk of bone complications
Postmenopausal osteoporosis
Prevention and treatment of skeletal events in cancer patients
Malignancy-induced hypercalcemia
Paget’s disease in adults
