Zoledronic acid, also known as zoledronate, is a medication used to treat high levels of calcium in the blood due to certain types of cancer or bone problems. Zoledronic acid works by inhibiting the activity of osteoclasts, which are cells that break down bone tissue. This medication helps to reduce bone loss and increase bone density, thereby reducing the risk of fractures.

Zoledronic acid is typically given as an infusion or injection, also known as the brand name Zometa, and is available in a 4 mg/5 ml concentration. It is a potent bisphosphonate drug that is quickly absorbed into bone tissue, where it forms a strong bond and inhibits the breakdown of bone. This mechanism of action makes zoledronic acid an effective treatment for osteoporosis and bone metastases caused by certain types of cancer.
