Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the rash on the buttock is concerned with the side effect of the Taro Zaledronic acid. The drug induced rash usually goes away within a span period of 3-4 working days. If there is persistence beyond this period, it requires additional support such as steroid shot with or without steroid medications to resolve it faster and avoid further complications.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
