WHAT ZOLEDRONIC ACID HOSPIRA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
The active substance in Zoledronic Acid Hospira 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).

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU ARE GIVEN ZOLEDRONIC ACID HOSPIRA
Follow carefully all instructions given to you by your doctor.
Your doctor will carry out blood tests before you start treatment with
Zoledronic Acid Hospira and
will check your response to treatment at regular intervals.
YOU SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN ZOLEDRONIC ACID HOSPIRA:

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Zoledronic acid must only be prescribed and administered to patients
by healthcare professionals
experienced in the administration of intravenous bisphosphonates.
Patients treated with zoledronic
acid should be given the package leaflet and the patient reminder
card.
Posology
_Prevention of skeletal related events in patients with advanced
malignancies involving bone _
_Adults and elderly _
The recommended dose in the prevention of skeletal related events in
patients with advanced
malignancies involving bone is 4 mg zoledronic acid every 3 to 4
weeks.
Patients should also be administered an oral calcium supplement of 500
mg and 400 IU vitamin D
daily.
The decision to treat patients with bone metastases for the prevention
of skeletal related events should
consider that the onset of treatment effect is 2-3 months.

_Treatment of TIH _
_Adults and elderly _
The recommended dose in hypercalcaemia (albumin-corrected serum
calcium
12.0 mg/dl or
3.0 mmol/l) is a single dose of 4 mg zoledronic acid.
_Renal impairment_
_ _
_TIH:_
Zoledronic acid treatment in TIH patients who also have severe renal
impairment should be considered
only after evaluating the ris
