Cinacalcet

Cinacalcet is a medication used primarily to treat conditions related to high calcium levels in the blood, such as secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with chronic kidney disease or parathyroid carcinoma. It works by mimicking calcium, which helps lower parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels and reduces calcium release from bones. This medication can improve bone health and overall calcium balance in the body. It is taken as a pill and is typically prescribed when other treatments are ineffective. Regular monitoring of blood calcium levels is important while using cinacalcet.
