For further information, contact the Gore Medical Centre, (03) 208 9222, to discuss the therapies with one of our clinic nurses, or make an appointment with Dr Jochen Clemens or Dr Glenys Weir. Alternatively, discuss with your own Doctor who can advise you.
Aclasta
The IV clinic also offers Aclasta infusions. These are used for the treatment of osteoporosis and are an alternative to taking weekly Fosamax medication. These are a simple 30 minute infusion and a good option for those who find it hard to remember to take a weekly dose of medication or experience side effects from the medication.
The Government funds this medication but not the administration of it. Consequently, there is a charge to have this infusion. Please talk with your Doctor to see if you are eligible for this funded medication or for further information see the New Zealand data sheet.
