The following sections explain in detail the potentially negative interactions that can occur when
Aredia is combined with any of the drugs listed above.
Aminoglycosides
Taking Aredia with an aminoglycoside antibiotic can increase the risk of low blood calcium (hypocalcemia) and kidney damage. Talk to your healthcare provider before taking these medications together.
