I had MM diagnosed in January started quad treatment but it was too aggressive so I had chemotherapy done instead. My levels have been low since the chemo but kept having fractures even with myeloma gone. Doctors want me to start on zometa
Zometa (zoledronic acid) is a bisphosphonate commonly used in myeloma to help protect bones and reduce fractures — so it makes sense your doctors are recommending it given your fracture history.
It's typically given as an IV infusion, often monthly at first, though frequency can be reduced over time depending on your Show Full Answer
I’ve had many infusions of Zometa. Before I started I had a consultation with my dentist whose advice was to continue with regular preventative cleanings and exams and to rinse with a fluoride solution. His only experience of jaw necrosis was with a patient with existing poor oral hygiene who had had an extraction. Hope this helps.
I have been on Zometa quarterly for a few cycles now. I just got an infusion yesterday. To date a day of flu like symptoms is all I experienced. That after the the 2nd round.
I take Claritin not Claritin D just plain and it helps. 5 days after Zometa.
I had a tooth pulled in January 2026. Had to stop Zometa for about 4 months before tooth got pulled, resume infusion on May 5.
