Bone Health Support, Every Step
Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become weaker and more fragile, increasing the risk of fractures. For some patients, their doctor may recommend IV treatment to support bone health and assist with long-term osteoporosis management.
At St Verena Medical Centre, Zoledronic Acid infusion is administered using an infusion pump in a monitored clinical environment. Patients who require ongoing medical care, treatment planning or referrals can also speak with our General Practice team.
What Is Zoledronic Acid / Aclasta Infusion?
Zoledronic Acid, commonly known by the brand name Aclasta, is an IV treatment used to support bone health and help reduce fracture risk in suitable patients.
The infusion is delivered through a drip using an infusion pump during a scheduled appointment at the clinic. This treatment must be recommended and referred by a doctor before it can be provided.
This service is delivered through our clinical team as part of our Infusion Clinic, where suitable treatments are provided in a monitored setting.
Before Your Osteoporosis Infusion
A doctor referral is required before booking an osteoporosis infusion at St Verena Medical Centre.
Before treatment, patients must be assessed by their referring doctor to confirm suitability and ensure all required checks have been completed prior to acceptance for infusion.
This may include reviewing your medical history, current medications, bone health needs and any relevant test results. For patients managing long-term health concerns, regular check-ins may also be useful. You can read more in our article on how regular health assessments improve wellness.
