Zolendronic acid
Zoledronic acid is a medication used to strengthen bones and reduce fracture risk, particularly in conditions like osteoporosis, Paget's disease, and certain cancers that affect bones. It works by slowing down the activity of cells that break down bone, helping to maintain or increase bone density. Usually administered as an intravenous infusion, it can help prevent bone loss and related complications. While effective, it may cause side effects like flu-like symptoms, low calcium levels, or, rarely, kidney issues. It’s important to use under medical supervision to ensure proper benefit and minimize risks.
