Uses of Aclasta 5mg Injection

Aclasta 5mg Injection is given as a drip into a vein to treat osteoporosis in women after the menopause and in men, reducing the risk of fractures. It is also used for Paget’s disease of bone, for high blood calcium caused by cancer, and to protect bones in people whose cancer has spread to the bone.

How Aclasta 5mg Injection works

Zoledronic acid binds tightly to bone and slows the cells that break bone down (osteoclasts). This allows bone-building to catch up, strengthening the bones, reducing the release of calcium into the blood and lowering the risk of fractures and bone pain.
