Zoledron
Zoledronic acid
Description:
The active ingredient in Zoledron is Zoledronic Acid, which belongs to a group of medicines called bisphosphonates. It is an inhibitor of osteoclast mediated bone resorption. The action of bisphosphonates on bone is based on their high affinity for mineralized bone. Intravenously administered Zoledronic Acid is rapidly distributed to bone. Zoledronic Acid is not metabolized and is excreted unchanged via the kidney.

Indications:
- Treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women to reduce the incidence of hip, vertebral and non-vertebral fractures and to increase bone mineral density
- Treatment of osteoporosis in men
- Treatment of Paget's disease of bone
- Treatment and prevention of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis
- Prevention of clinical fractures in patients after hip fracture
- Prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis
Mode of Action:
Zoledronic Acid works by slowing down bone resorption, which allows the bone-forming cells time to rebuild normal bone. This allows bone remodelling to go back to normal and protects the bones from being weakened.
