Reduce Side Effects

  • Vitamin D
    Musculoskeletal pain is one of the side effects of zoledronic acid. In a double-blind trial, supplementation with a single dose of vitamin D (300,000 IU) significantly decreased the severity of musculoskeletal pain in women being treated with zoledronic acid. The large amount of vitamin D used in this study has the potential to cause adverse effects, and therefore should be taken only under medical supervision.
    The interaction is supported by preliminary, weak, fragmentary, and/or contradictory scientific evidence.
