Laboratory and instrumental data: very often - hypophosphatemia; often - an increase in the concentration of creatinine and urea in the blood, hypocalcemia; infrequently - hypomagnesemia, hypokalemia; rarely - hyperkalemia, hypernatremia. The above-mentioned AEs associated with the use of zoledronic acid for these indications are usually mild and transitory in nature, they can be observed in a third of patients receiving treatment with the drug.
In the treatment and prevention of various types of osteoporosis, treatment of Paget's bone disease and for the prevention of new fractures in men and women with fractures of the proximal femur
Impaired nervous system: often - headache *, dizziness; infrequent - retardation *, paresthesia, decreased sensitivity (met only in patients who received the drug for the prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis), drowsiness, tremor *, fainting, dysgeusia.
Disorders of the side of the organ of vision: often - sclera hyperemia; infrequently - conjunctivitis, pain in the eyes, vertigo, fuzzy vision (only seen in patients who received the drug for the prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis); rarely - uveitis *, episcleritis, iritis *; frequency unknown - inflammation of the sclera and orbit.
Disturbances from the respiratory system, chest and mediastinal organs: infrequently - shortness of breath *, cough.
Disorders from the digestive system: often - nausea *, vomiting, diarrhea; infrequent anorexia *, decreased appetite, indigestion *, abdominal pain *, dry mouth, esophagitis *, gastroesophageal reflux, upper abdominal pain *, constipation *, gastritis (in patients receiving glucocorticosteroids), toothache.
Disturbances from the skin and subcutaneous tissue: infrequently - rash, hyperhidrosis *, itching, erythema.
Disturbances from the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue: often - arthralgia *, myalgia *; pain in the bones, pain in the back and extremities, pain in the jaw and pain in the neck (met only in patients who received the drug for the prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis); infrequent pain in the neck, joint swelling *, muscle spasms *, shoulder pain, chest pain * musculoskeletal origin, muscle weakness, stiffness in the muscles * and joints *, arthritis, musculoskeletal pain , pain in the side (only seen in patients who received the drug for the prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis); frequency unknown - osteonecrosis of the jaw.
Disorders from the kidneys and urinary tract: infrequently - increased levels of creatinine, pollakiuria, proteinuria. The frequency is unknown - renal failure.
Violations of the blood and lymphatic system: infrequently anemia.
Heart Disease: atrial fibrillation; infrequent - a feeling of palpitations.
Vascular disorders: infrequently - increased blood pressure, sudden redness of the face; frequency unknown - marked reduction in blood pressure (in patients with risk factors).
Mental disturbance: infrequently - insomnia, anxiety (only seen in patients who received the drug for the prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis). Infections and infestations: infrequently - flu, nasopharyngitis.
General disorders and disorders at the site of administration: very often - a rise in temperature; often - influenza-like syndrome, chills *, increased fatigue *, asthenia, pain *, general malaise, reactions at the site of infusion; infrequent - peripheral edema, thirst, * acute reactions *, chest pain * (not associated with heart disease); frequency is unknown - dehydration (develops secondary to post-infusion symptoms, such as fever, vomiting, diarrhea).
* - In some studies, including the use of zoledronic acid preparations for the prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis, the frequency of these adverse events was an order of magnitude higher.
The above AEs associated with the use of zoledronic acid for these indications are usually easy or moderately expressed and occur within three days after the onset. With repeated administration of the drug, the severity of AE data decreased.
In individual studies of zoledronic acid, AEs were recorded whose incidence was lower in the drug group than in the untreated group: redness of the eyes, increased C-reactive protein in the blood, hypocalcemia, dysgeusia, toothache, gastritis, palpitation, reactions at the injection site.
On the background of zoledronic acid therapy, the following adverse events were noted in clinical practice, regardless of the presence of a causal relationship with the use of the drug (frequency not established): hypersensitivity reactions, including in rare cases bronchial obstruction, hives, angioedema and separate reports on the development of anaphylactic reactions, in t.ch. anaphylactic shock.In rare cases, renal dysfunction, including renal insufficiency, requiring hemodialysis, or deaths, especially in patients with a history of having a kidney disease, or additional risk factors (for example, elderly age, concomitant therapy with nephrotoxic drugs, diuretics, or severe dehydration).
