Average Cost:
4 mg.dose $713.65
Trade Name:
Zometa®
(Novartis)
FDA approval:
2001 - hypercalcemia of malignancy
2002 - bone metastases indication
For hypercalcemia of malignancy and the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma and patients with documented bone metastases from solid tumors, in conjunction with standard anti-cancer therapy.
Prostate cancer patients should have failed to benefit from continuing treatment with at least one hormonal therapy.
* 4 mg by single-dose intravenous infusion over no less than 15 minutes
It is necessary to have a test of kidney function before each infusion of Zometa® since it has not been established that Zometa® can be safely administered if kidney function is not normal.
