WHAT ZOLEDRONIC ACID TEVA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
The active substance in this medicine 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 TEVA
Follow carefully all instructions given to you by your doctor.
Your doctor will carry out blood tests before you start treatment with
Zoledronic Acid Teva and will
check your response to treatment at regular intervals.
YOU SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN ZOLEDRONIC ACID TEVA

if you are breast-feeding.

THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
-
Prevention of skeletal related events (pathological fractures, spinal
compression, radiation or
surgery to bone, or tumour-induced hypercalcaemia) in adult patients
with advanced
malignancies involving bone.
-

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Zoledronic Acid Teva must only be prescribed and administered to
patients by healthcare
professionals experienced in the administration of intravenous
bisphosphonates. Patients treated with
Zoledronic Acid Teva 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 people _
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 people _
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 Teva treatment in TIH patients who also have severe
renal impairment should be
considered on
