Reclast (zoledronic acid) (sometimes called zoledronate) is a bisphosphonate medicine that alters bone formation and breakdown in the body. This can slow bone loss and may help prevent bone fractures.

Reclast is used to treat or prevent osteoporosis caused by menopause, steroid use, or gonadal failure. This medicine is for use when you have a high risk of bone fracture due to osteoporosis.

Reclast is also used to increase bone mass in men who have osteoporosis, and to treat Paget's disease of bone in men and women.

Zometa is another brand of zoledronic acid used to treat high blood levels of calcium caused by cancer and multiple myeloma.

You should not use Reclast and Zometa at the same time.
