Hi Lanzarote I am not medically trained but Zometa is a bisphosphonate and is usually used to help Calcium to be absorbed into the bones. HT can cause thinning of the bones, so usually a calcium product like Adcal D3 is prescribed and the Zometa helps that to be absorbed to avoid osteoporosis. David
Zometa is a brand (trade) name for zoledronic acid. Zoledronic acid strengthens bones and may be used for the treatment or prevention of osteoporosis. It works by inhibiting osteoclasts which are responsible for breaking down and reabsorbing bone (by a process known as bone resorption). It also inhibits increased osteoclastic activity and the release of calcium by the skeleton induced by tumors.
Zometa belongs to a group of medicines known as bisphosphonates.
