Before giving zoledronate (also spelled zoledronic acid), it is standard clinical practice to ensure that serum calcium is within the normal range.
Here is the general medical guidance:
-
Zoledronate can cause hypocalcemia, and the risk is higher if calcium or vitamin D levels are already low.
-
Serum calcium and vitamin D levels should be checked before treatment.
-
Any deficiency should be corrected first, usually with calcium and vitamin D supplementation.
-
Patients are typically advised to continue daily calcium and vitamin D supplementation unless contraindicated.
, osteogenesis imperfecta, or something similar, the guidance above still applies for all indications of zoledronate.
If you want, I can outline standard pre-infusion labs, supplementation regimens, or what symptoms to watch for.
