Zolexa Injection Substitute

Zolexa Injection contains Zoledronic acid that works by binding to the bone tightly and preventing the removal of calcium by osteoclasts (a type of bone cells that destroy bone tissue). This prevents osteoclasts from breaking down the bone and keeps the bones strong and minimizes the risk of bones breaking.

You are not recommended to take Zolexa Injection if you have hypocalcemia (low levels of calcium in the blood) as it may worsen the condition. However, the levels of calcium and vitamin D may be checked before starting treatment with Zolexa Injection.

Zolexa Injection may cause osteonecrosis (bone damage) of the jaw. Therefore, to prevent such condition, maintain good oral hygiene and have regular dental check-ups while taking Zolexa Injection. Also, is you wear dentures, make sure they fit properly. However, if you experience any problems with teeth or mouth such as loose teeth, swelling or pain, non-healing of sores or discharge, consult your doctor and dentist as these might be signs of osteonecrosis of the jaw.

You are not recommended to take Zolexa Injection with gentamicin as co-administration of these two medicines may increase the risk of very low calcium levels in the blood. However, please consult a doctor before taking Zolexa Injection with other medicines.

Zolexa Injection may reduce calcium levels in the blood by preventing calcium reabsorption from bones to the blood. Therefore, your doctor may prescribe calcium and vitamin D supplements, and you may be advised to take them for at least 10 days after receiving Zolexa Injection.
