Zoldria 4mg

Zoldria (Zoledronic Acid) 4mg Injection is a medication used to treat various bone-related disorders, including:

• Hypercalcemia of malignancy (high levels of calcium in the blood caused by cancer)
• Osteoporosis (weakened bones)
• Paget’s disease of bone
• Bone metastases (cancer that has spread to the bones)

Composition: Each 4mg injection of Zoldria contains 4mg of Zoledronic Acid (an active pharmaceutical ingredient), which is a bisphosphonate medication.

Mechanism of Action: Zoledronic Acid works by:

• Reducing the activity of osteoclasts, which are cells that break down bone tissue
• Increasing the activity of osteoblasts, which are cells that build new bone tissue
• Decreasing the production of parathyroid hormone, which is a hormone that regulates calcium levels in the blood

Dosage: The recommended dose of Zoldria varies depending on the condition being treated. For hypercalcemia of malignancy, the recommended dose is 4mg every 28 days. For osteoporosis, the recommended dose is 5mg every 2 years.
