Zoledronic Acid (Aclasta) Infusions

Bone health is a common concern at all stages of life. We understand it very well. Weak bones can impact one’s ability to move around and can be a reason for bone fractures. In most cases, many individuals fail to realize their bone loss until such a time when a bone fracture happens. Osteoporosis is a bone problem found in many individuals due to thinning bones.

We provide this treatment to strengthen your bones. We aim to make your bones stronger and healthier.

What Is Zoledronic Acid (Aclasta)?

This method is used to treat and prevent osteoporosis. It strengthens your bones. This can also be used to reduce the risk of fractures. We commonly recommend this treatment for older adults and postmenopausal women. It may also be used in people whose bones have weakened due to long-term medication use.

Zoledronic Acid (Aclasta) is different from other bone treatments. It is not taken as a daily or weekly tablet. We prescribe and administer this through an intravenous (IV) infusion annually. It is very effective in patients who find it hard to swallow drugs in tablets. We also administer this on our patients who have problems with their stomach because of taking medications through their mouths.

How Does Zoledronic Acid (Aclasta) Work?

Bones are living tissues and are constantly renewed. Old bones are decomposed, and new bones are developed. However, in osteoporosis, the breakdown of bones occurs faster than the development of bones. This results in brittle bones.

Our treatment reduces the rate of bone degradation. As a result, your body regains stronger bone mass. With time, your bones become denser. Thus, the risk of breaking the bone diminishes. This is most effective for lower back and hip joints.

  • Have osteoporosis

We will review your medical history and bone density results before treatment.
