WHAT ZOLEDRONIC ACID TEVA PHARMA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Zoledronic acid Teva Pharma contains the active substance zoledronic

osteoporosis or osteoporosis caused by treatment with corticosteroids
used to treat inflammation, and
Paget’s disease of the bone in adults.
OSTEOPOROSIS
Osteoporosis is a disease that involves the thinning and weakening of
the bones and is common in
women after the menopause, but can also occur in men. At the
menopause, a woman’s ovaries stop

and women because of the long term use of steroids, which can affect
the strength of bones. Many
patients with osteoporosis have no symptoms but they are still at risk
of breaking bones because
osteoporosis has made their bones weaker. Decreased circulating levels

oestrogens converted from androgens, also
