Additional Information for Calcitonin-Salmon Injection
Calcitonin-Salmon Injection is a medication that belongs to the supply class Drugs And Biologicals in the supply group Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies.
Calcitonin-Salmon is a synthetic form of the hormone calcitonin, which is naturally produced in the thyroid gland. It is used to treat conditions such as osteoporosis, Paget's disease of bone, and hypercalcemia (high levels of calcium in the blood).
Calcitonin-Salmon Injection is administered through subcutaneous (under the skin) or intramuscular (into the muscle) injection. It works by inhibiting the activity of osteoclasts, which are cells responsible for breaking down bone tissue. By reducing bone breakdown, Calcitonin-Salmon helps to increase bone density and prevent bone loss.
It is important to note that Calcitonin-Salmon Injection should only be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional, as they will determine the appropriate dosage and frequency of administration based on the individual's condition and response to treatment.
As with any medication, Calcitonin-Salmon Injection may cause side effects. Common side effects include nausea, flushing of the face, and injection site reactions such as pain or redness. Serious side effects are rare but can include allergic reactions, low blood calcium levels, and pancreatitis.
If you have any further questions or concerns about Calcitonin-Salmon Injection, it is best to consult with a healthcare professional or pharmacist who can provide you with more specific information based on your individual needs.
