WHAT ZOLEDRONIC ACID ACCORD IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
The active substance in Zoledronic Acid Accord is zoledronic acid,
which belongs to a group of
substances called bisphosphonates. Zoledronic acid works by attaching
itself to the bone and slowing
down the rate of bone change. It is used:
•
TO PREVENT BONE COMPLICATIONS,
e.g. fractures, in adult patients with bone metastases (spread
of cancer from primary site to the bone).
•
TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF CALCIUM
in the blood in adult patients where it is too high due to the
presence of a tumour. Tumours can accelerate normal bone change in
such a way that the
release of calcium from bone is increased. This condition is known as
tumour-induced
hypercalcaemia (TIH).
2.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU ARE GIVEN ZOLEDRONIC ACID ACCORD
Follow carefully all instructions given to you by your doctor.
Your doctor will carry out blood tests before you start treatment with
Zoledronic Acid Accord
and will check your response to treatment at regular intervals.
DO NOT RECEIVE ZOLEDRONIC ACID ACCORD:
•
if you are breast-feeding.
•
if you are allergic to zoledronic acid, another bisphosphonate (the
