Once-yearly zoledronic acid in the prevention of osteoporotic bone fractures in postmenopausal women

Abstract: Zoledronic acid is a nitrogen-containing, third-generation bisphosphonate that has recently been approved for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis as an annual intravenous infusion. Zoledronic acid is an antiresorptive agent which has a high affi nity for mineralized bone and especially for sites of high bone turnover. Zoledronic acid is excreted by the kidney without further metabolism. Zoledronic acid administered as a 5 mg intravenous infusion annually increases bone mineral density in the lumbar sp… Show more

“…There is no need to adjust the dose in patients who have a creatinine clearance of 35 mL/min or higher. Zoledronic acid does not inhibit the P450 enzyme, and there is therefore no interaction with other medications metabolized via cytochrome P450 21. However, caution should be exercised in patients on medications that have the potential of reducing the serum calcium level, such as loop diuretics and aminoglycosides, and potentially nephrotoxic medications, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory compounds.…”

“…Moreover, the study was focused on following the rate of radioactivity clearance from liver and kidney (Figure ). The liver showed low tendency for 99m Tc‐EMIHPBP uptake that reached its maximum value 2.92%ID/gram organ after 120 minutes; this was due to the fact that ZL is not metabolized in liver and is excreted intact in the urine . By following 99m Tc‐EMIHPBP through the kidney, it was suggested that urinary excretion is the main pathway for its removal from the body where about 8.13% ID/gram organ of 99m Tc‐EMIHPBP found in the kidney after 60 minutes was subjected for continuous rapid clearance to reach 16.67% after 360 minutes.…”

“…Usually AEs after using once-yearly ZOL 5 mg were clustered into five groups: acute-phase reactions, such as fever, musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal; hypocalcaemia; renal dysfunction; cardiovascular; eye inflammation; and osteonecrosis of the jaw [40][41][42].…”
