Zoledronic Acid, also known as Zometa, is a drug used to treat osteoporosis and bone metastases.

Levolic acid is usually given by intravenous injection once a year or less frequently. The doctor will develop a medication plan based on the patient's specific situation. While receiving levolic acid treatment, patients may experience mild side effects such as fever, headache, myalgia, etc., but these are usually temporary. While taking levolic acid, patients should remain well hydrated to help the kidneys excrete the drug. If you have any questions or discomfort, please consult your doctor immediately.
