Similar Products

✔️ Uses of Zometa
  • Postmenopausal osteoporosis
  • Paget’s disease
  • Hypercalcemia (high level of calcium) in cancer
✔️ How does Zometa work?

Zoledronic Acid contains Zoledronic acid, which binds tightly to bones and inhibits the action of osteoclasts, cells responsible for breaking down bone tissue. By preventing bone breakdown, Zoledronic Acid helps maintain bone strength.

✔️ Side Effects:

Common side effects may include headache, fever, nausea, dizziness, vomiting, back pain, diarrhea, muscle or joint pain, swelling, or pain at the infusion site. Most side effects are temporary and do not require medical intervention.

✔️ Quick Suggestions:
  • Since Zoledronic acid may lower calcium levels in your blood, include calcium-rich foods in your diet. Additionally, have regular blood tests to monitor calcium levels.
  • Zoledronic acid may rarely cause osteonecrosis of the jaw. Therefore, ensure regular dental check-ups and inform your doctor if you experience sudden jaw pain.
  • Stay well-hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration and potential kidney damage.
  • You may experience fever or flu-like symptoms, such as chills, tiredness, and weakness. These symptoms are usually temporary and can be managed with pain relievers or fever reducers.
  • Your doctor will monitor your response to Zoledronic acid by testing your bone mineral density (BMD) every 1-3 years.
✔️ Indication of Zometa

Zoledronic Acid is used to treat various conditions including:

  • Malignant hypercalcemia
  • Bone metastases
  • Osteolytic lesions
  • Corticosteroid-induced osteoporosis
  • Osteoporosis
  • Paget's disease of bone
  • Prevention of osteoporosis
✔️ Pharmacology

Zoledronic acid acts mainly on bones as an inhibitor of osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. It targets mineralized bone and rapidly distributes to bones when administered intravenously. It primarily inhibits farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase in osteoclasts, reducing bone resorption. Additionally, it exhibits antitumor, antiangiogenic, anti-pain, cytostatic, and pro-apoptotic activities on tumor cells.

✔️ Dosage of Zometa

The recommended doses vary based on the condition being treated:

  • For hypercalcemia of malignancy: A single-dose intravenous infusion of 4 mg.
  • For multiple myeloma and bone metastases: 4 mg infused every 3-4 weeks.
  • Oral calcium and vitamin D supplementation is also recommended.
✔️ Administration of Zometa

Zoledronic Acid should be diluted with a calcium-free infusion solution before administration. Infusion should last at least 15 minutes. The solution should be used promptly or stored at refrigerated temperatures for up to 24 hours.

✔️ Interaction
  • Zoledronic Acid may interact with certain antibiotics, such as gentamicin. Caution is advised when using these medications together, as they may have additive effects on lowering serum calcium levels over time.
  • Zoledronic Acid may interact with diuretics like furosemide. Combination therapy with Zoledronic Acid and diuretics may increase the risk of hypocalcemia. Close monitoring of calcium levels is recommended if these medications are used together.
  • No significant interactions between Zoledronic Acid and food have been reported. However, it's essential to maintain a balanced diet, including calcium-rich foods, to support bone health and minimize the risk of hypocalcemia.
  • Avoid Zoledronic Acid if you have hypocalcemia or severe kidney problems, as it may exacerbate these conditions. Close monitoring of calcium levels and renal function is crucial in such cases.
  • Inform your doctor if you have cancer, gum disease, or poor dental health before starting Zoledronic Acid treatment. These conditions may increase the risk of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ), a rare but severe side effect associated with Zoledronic Acid.
  • If you have a planned tooth extraction or existing kidney problems, consult your doctor before taking Zoledronic Acid. Special precautions may be necessary to minimize the risk of complications.
✔️ Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to the drug, severe renal impairment, pregnancy, and breastfeeding are contraindications for Zoledronic Acid.

✔️ Pregnancy & Lactation

Zoledronic Acid is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women.

✔️ Precautions & Warnings
  • Avoid taking Zoledronic Acid if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, and consult your doctor for alternative options. This medication is not recommended for children under 18 years old due to a lack of safety and efficacy data in this population.
  • Avoid Zoledronic Acid if you have hypocalcemia (low calcium levels) or severe kidney problems. Additionally, inform your doctor if you are unable to take daily calcium supplements, have had sections of the intestine or parathyroid glands surgically removed, or if you have cancer, gum disease, poor dental health, planned tooth extraction, or kidney problems.
  • If you are a smoker, let your doctor know before receiving Zoledronic Acid, as smoking may increase the risk of dental problems associated with this medication.
  • Zoledronic Acid may cause osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) in some patients. Be vigilant for any dental or oral issues such as loose teeth, swelling, pain, non-healing sores, or discharge, and promptly consult your doctor and dentist if you experience any of these symptoms.
  • To prevent dehydration, it's recommended to drink at least 2 glasses of fluids before and after Zoledronic Acid treatment as advised by your doctor.
  • Taking calcium and vitamin D supplements as prescribed by your doctor is essential, as Zoledronic Acid may reduce calcium levels in the blood. These supplements help maintain adequate calcium levels and support bone health during treatment.
✔️ Storage Conditions:

Store below 30°C, protected from moisture and light, and out of reach of children.
