Side Effects for Zometa (zoledronic acid)

ZOMETA (ZOLEDRONIC ACID): This medication is used to treat high blood calcium levels (hypercalcemia) that may occur with cancer. Zoledronic acid is also used with cancer chemotherapy to treat bone problems that may occur with multiple myeloma and other types of cancer (such as breast, lung) that have spread to the bones. Zoledronic acid belongs to a class of drugs known as bisphosphonates. It lowers high blood calcium levels by reducing the amount of calcium released from your bones into your blood. It also works by slowing the breakdown of your bones by cancer to prevent bone fractures. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

I started at 5pm and finished around 10PM, 8 ounces every 15 - 20 mins. No bloating, cramping or vomiting. Started seeing clear yellow approx. 2/3 way through the bottle. Tasted like alka selter to me. I used the orange flavor packs. It Wasn't the worst tasting thing I've ever had to drink. I din't mind the tast at all, just got tired of the taste because I was so hungry after about the 7th or 8th glass.

Bad withdrawal effects if miss doses

I have weight gain, loss of libido and there's no spark in my life.

I still keep an Albuterol Sulfate cartridge as a back-up inhaler, but I have used it only once or twice in the past year. I primarily use Albuterol Sulfate if my breathing becomes difficult during periods of exercise, and it does help relieve tightness in my chest and helps me take deeper breaths.

Debilitating foot and leg cramps. I don't know if this is what is causing them, I am trying to find out. The cramps are becoming cripiling. It mostly happens at night, and my muscles are so sore I can hardly walk for days.

Hairloss and tingling in forhead also E.D

Great drug for me. It has really saved my life. I started at a low dosage, which I know helped me adjust to it better. Can't say anything bad about it! NO weight gain, actually weight loss. Since I feel great, I eat better and can exercise now.

the medication is not fit to be the market period the end. I have done so much research on this drug and it is so dangerous that some countries are considering a ban on it. All of my recent health problems have been link directly back to taking Seroquel XR.

I am 35 years old and I don't use birth control because hormonal birth control makes me feel ill. I would never recommend this to anyone. I would rather be sick off of birth control than deal with what Plan B caused me to feel
