Macdronic is used to prevent bone complications, e.g. fractures, in adult patients with bone metastases (spread of cancer from primary site to the bone). To reduce the amount of calcium in the blood in adult patients where it is too high due to the presence of a tumour.
Macdronic 4mg Injection is a medication containing the active ingredient Zoledronic acid. Zoledronic acid belongs to a class of drugs known as bisphosphonates and is used to treat conditions related to bone metabolism, such as osteoporosis, Paget's disease, and bone complications associated with cancer. It works by inhibiting the breakdown of bone and reducing calcium loss from bones, thus strengthening bone density. Macdronic 4mg Injection is administered intravenously, providing a concentrated and effective solution for patients requiring bone-strengthening treatment.
