FAQs

Esentra Injection 1's binds to a protein on RANK ligand on osteoclast (cells that cause bone breakdown) and inhibits their formation, functioning and survival. Thereby decreases bone breakdown, increases bone density, and strengthens the bone. Esentra Injection 1's makes the bones stronger and less likely to break.
Osteonecrosis of the jaw (bone damage in the jaw) might be a side-effect of Esentra Injection 1's. The risk increases in people taking Esentra Injection 1's for longer durations. It might also occur upon discontinuation of the treatment. Maintain good dental hygiene and receive regular dental check-ups whilst on treatment with Esentra Injection 1's. Inform your doctor if you have dental problems, gum disease, planned tooth extractions, cancer, if you smoke, or are taking bisphosphonates or corticosteroids.
Breakdown of bones releases calcium and causes hypercalcemia (high calcium levels in the blood). Esentra Injection 1's helps treat high calcium levels by decreasing bone breakdown.
Unusual thigh bone fractures might occur whilst on treatment with Esentra Injection 1's. Consult your doctor if you experience new or unusual pain in the thigh, hip, or groin.
Esentra Injection 1's treats giant cell tumour of bone (GCTB) by blocking certain receptors in the tumour cells, thereby slows the tumour growth. Giant cell tumour of the bone is a non-cancerous tumour that typically grows at the ends of long bones.
Esentra Injection 1's might cause skin infections. Consult your doctor immediately if you notice symptoms such as swollen skin, redness, cellulitis (hot and tender skin), commonly in the lower leg with feverish symptoms.

Esentra Injection 1's is also used to treat bone loss due to reduced testosterone level caused by surgery, due to the treatment with medicines such as glucocorticoids and in patients with prostate cancer. Esentra Injection 1's may also be used to reduce the risk of fractures in people with multiple myeloma, giant cell tumour of the bone, and to treat high calcium levels caused due to cancer.
 
Esentra Injection 1's contains ‘denosumab’, which works by blocking a receptor in the body that causes bone loss, thereby treats bone loss. Esentra Injection 1's treats giant cell tumour of bone (GCTB) by blocking certain receptors in the tumour cells, thereby slowing the tumour growth. Esentra Injection 1's helps treat high calcium levels by decreasing bone breakdown as a breakdown of the bones releases calcium.
