Frequently asked questions

Zoledronic acid is considered safe when taken as prescribed by your doctor. Adhere strictly to the dosage instructions and inform your doctor if you experience any troublesome side effects.
Zoledronic acid increases bone density, helping to prevent osteoporosis and treat high blood calcium levels caused by secondary bone cancer. It is also effective in managing bone metastasis from breast cancer.
Zoledronic acid should be administered exclusively by a trained healthcare professional. The dosage will depend on your specific condition, so it is essential to follow your doctor's instructions to maximize the benefits.
Zoledronic acid is a bisphosphonate medication that prevents abnormal bone breakdown. It is used to prevent and treat osteoporosis and fractures in individuals with metastatic cancer and may also treat hypercalcemia (elevated blood calcium levels).
You should avoid lying down after taking Zoledronic acid to prevent the medication from refluxing into the esophagus, which could cause damage. Remaining upright allows the medication to settle in your stomach and reduces the risk of side effects like heartburn.
The duration and dosage of Zoledronic acid should be determined by your doctor. It typically takes about six months to achieve maximum benefits, but some patients may require it for a longer period based on their specific condition.
To enhance the benefits of Zoledronic acid, incorporate calcium and vitamin D-rich foods into your diet, spend time in sunlight for natural vitamin D, quit smoking, and limit alcohol intake. Engage in regular exercise, including walking, low-impact aerobics, and strength-training exercises, to improve bone health.
