Maintaining strong bones is vital for independence. For those managing osteoporosis, the Aclasta Infusion Treatment offers a streamlined, yearly alternative to weekly oral medications.
How It Works
Osteoporosis is often “silent” until a fracture occurs. Unlike daily tablets that can irritate the stomach, the Aclasta Infusion Treatment bypasses the digestive system entirely. It works by locking into the bone structure to stop the cells that break down tissue, preserving density for 12 months.
The Process at Victa Health
We ensure a safe, comfortable experience in O’Connor:
- Hydration: We ensure you are well-hydrated to minimize side effects.
- The Drip: The infusion is gentle and takes just 15–20 minutes.
- Care: You relax in our clinic for a brief observation period before heading home.
Is It Right For You?
This option is often prescribed for patients who cannot tolerate oral bisphosphonates due to reflux. As it is a prescription treatment, your GP will first assess your kidney function and calcium levels to ensure it is safe for you.
Managing Side Effects
Some patients report temporary “flu-like” symptoms (aches or fever) for a day or two after the Aclasta Infusion Treatment. These are generally mild and easily managed with water and paracetamol.
