Cinacalcet
About Cinacalcet
Cinacalcet is used for the control, treatment and prevention of secondary hyperparathyroidism, hypercalcemia in adult patients with parathyroid carcinoma, and hypercalcemia in adult patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. Cinacalcet works by lowering parathyroid hormone levels in the body, thus subsequently increasing the sensitivity of the calcium-sensing receptor to extracellular calcium.
Do not use Cinacalcet if you are allergic to any of the ingredients present in it. Before using Cinacalcet tell your doctor if you are using any prescription drugs, non-prescription drugs, or other herbal and dietary pills and supplements, if you suffer from adynamic bone disease, if you have hepatic impairment, if you suffer from hypocalcemia, if you have a history of seizures, or if you are pregnant and/or breastfeeding. Also let your doctor know your history of medical problems, pre-existing diseases and current health conditions.
Cinacalcet is available as a tablet to be taken orally, with or without food, as instructed by the doctor. Dosage depends on conditions such as medical condition, diet, age, and counteraction with other medicines.
