FAQs

BLAZTERE INJECTION 4MG contains Zoledronic acid that works by binding to the bone tightly and preventing the removal of calcium by osteoclasts (a type of bone cells that destroy bone tissue). This prevents osteoclasts from breaking down the bone and keeps the bones strong and minimizes the risk of bones breaking.

You are not recommended to take BLAZTERE INJECTION 4MG if you have hypocalcemia (low levels of calcium in the blood) as it may worsen the condition. However, the levels of calcium and vitamin D may be checked before starting treatment with BLAZTERE INJECTION 4MG.

BLAZTERE INJECTION 4MG may cause osteonecrosis (bone damage) of the jaw. Therefore, to prevent such condition, maintain good oral hygiene and have regular dental check-ups while taking BLAZTERE INJECTION 4MG. Also, is you wear dentures, make sure they fit properly. However, if you experience any problems with teeth or mouth such as loose teeth, swelling or pain, non-healing of sores or discharge, consult your doctor and dentist as these might be signs of osteonecrosis of the jaw.

You are not recommended to take BLAZTERE INJECTION 4MG with gentamicin as co-administration of these two medicines may increase the risk of very low calcium levels in the blood. However, please consult a doctor before taking BLAZTERE INJECTION 4MG with other medicines.

BLAZTERE INJECTION 4MG may reduce calcium levels in the blood by preventing calcium reabsorption from bones to the blood. Therefore, your doctor may prescribe calcium and vitamin D supplements, and you may be advised to take them for at least 10 days after receiving BLAZTERE INJECTION 4MG.

BLAZTERE INJECTION 4MG may cause flu-like symptoms (chills, tiredness, muscle and joint pain) in some patients as a common side effect. However, if the symptoms persist or worsen even after 2 weeks, please consult a doctor.

About BLAZTERE INJECTION 4MG

BLAZTERE INJECTION 4MG belongs to the class of medicines called 'bisphosphonates' used to treat osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones) caused by menopause or long-term steroid use. BLAZTERE INJECTION 4MG also treats Paget’s bone and high calcium levels caused by cancer. Osteoporosis is a bone disease that weakens and thins bones by decreasing bone density, common in post-menopausal women.  As the density of bones decreases, they weaken and are more likely to break. 

BLAZTERE INJECTION 4MG contains Zoledronic acid that works by binding to the bone tightly and preventing the removal of calcium by osteoclasts (a type of bone cell that destroys bone tissue). This prevents osteoclasts from breaking down the bone and keeps the bones strong and minimizes the risk of bones breaking.

A doctor or nurse will administer BLAZTERE INJECTION 4MG. In some cases, you may experience headache, fever, nausea, dizziness, vomiting, back pain, diarrhea, pain in the muscles, joints, or bones, swelling, or pain at the infusion site. Most of these side effects of BLAZTERE INJECTION 4MG do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to BLAZTERE INJECTION 4MG or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Avoid taking BLAZTERE INJECTION 4MG if you are pregnant or breastfeeding and consult a doctor. BLAZTERE INJECTION 4MG is not recommended for children below 18 years as the safety and effectiveness were not established. Avoid taking BLAZTERE INJECTION 4MG if you have hypocalcemia (low calcium levels in the blood) and severe kidney problems. Drive only if you are alert as BLAZTERE INJECTION 4MG may cause dizziness. BLAZTERE INJECTION 4MG may cause osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) in some patients. Therefore, if you experience any problems with teeth or mouth such as loose teeth, swelling or pain, non-healing of sores, or discharge, consult your doctor and dentist as these might be signs of osteonecrosis of the jaw.
