Aclasta – Prescription Only 

(ZOLEDRONIC ACID) 

Osteoporosis is a disease that affects the bones and they become fragile & brittle. Bones become weak and even a minor fall can put you at a higher risk of fractures & breaking a bone. When you have Osteoporosis the density and quality of the bones are reduced. Once an Osteoporotic fracture has occurred the risk of future fractures greatly increases.
