Drug Levels and Effects
Summary of Use during Lactation
Because no information is available on the use of zoledronic acid during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. However, absorption of zoledronic acid by a breastfed infant is unlikely.
Drug Levels
Zoledronic acid has a serum half-life of about 1.7 hours and is poorly absorbed orally, so absorption of zoledronic acid by a breastfed infant is unlikely.
