Composition:
ZOLEDRONIC ACID-4MG
Uses:
Treatment of Postmenopausal osteoporosis, Pagets disease, Hypercalcemia (high level of calcium) in cancer
Medicinal Benefits:
ZOMETA 4MG INJECTION contains Zoledronic acid used to treat postmenopausal osteoporosis, Paget’s disease, and hypercalcemia of malignancy (bone cancer in which excess of calcium exits). ZOMETA 4MG INJECTION binds to the bone tightly and prevents calcium removal by osteoclasts (a type of bone cell that destroy bone tissue). This prevents osteoclasts from breaking down the bone, strengthening bones, and minimizing the risk of bones breaking. Also, ZOMETA 4MG INJECTION may reduce calcium levels in the blood by preventing calcium reabsorption from bones to the blood. Thus, it helps in treating high calcium levels in the blood caused by cancer.

Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is a condition where part of the jawbone doesn't get enough blood, causing it to die. This can happen after dental work or on its own, often linked to certain medications used for osteoporosis and cancer. Symptoms include pain, swelling, exposed bone, and trouble chewing.
In Paget’s disease, bone remodeling (removal of old bone and replacement with new bone material) is too quick, and new bone is formed in a disordered manner making it weaker than normal. If left untreated, the bone may become deformed, painful, and broken.
No, ZOMETA 4MG INJECTION is not a habit-forming medication. It is used to treat osteoporosis and high blood calcium levels, and it does not cause physical or psychological dependence.
ZOMETA 4MG INJECTION belongs to the class of medicines called 'bisphosphonates' that contains Zolendronic acid.
