I know, so many medications we take can come with significant risks of side effects. But they also come with tremendous benefits that help us live fully and enjoy productive lives in the face of serious illnesses.

Just remember, most of the time, people writing in about side effects, whether in our forum or elsewhere, generally are only reporting the negative reactions they’ve had…not the positive experience millions of others have benefited from using medications.

Zomet (Zoledronic acid) is not a form of chemotherapy. It’s in a class of drugs called bisphosphonates which help slow the process of bone loss and it’s indicated for treatment in patient’s for Multiple Myeloma.

Again, Zomet isn’t a chemotherapy drug, but I found a good article on Chemocare.com about the side effects which should help encourage you about taking the med.

According to Chemocare.com,
“Important things to remember about the side effects of zoledronic acid:

~Most people do not experience all of the side effects listed.
~Side effects are often predictable in terms of their onset and duration.
~Side effects are almost always reversible and will go away after treatment is complete.
~There are many options to help minimize or prevent side effects.
~There is no relationship between the presence or severity of side effects and the effectiveness of the medication.
