FAQs

UNICALCIN 100IU INJECTION 1ML contains Calcitonin. It reduces the activity of osteoclasts, which are the cells responsible for bone breakdown. When bone is broken down, the calcium in the bone is released into the bloodstream. As a result, calcitonin's suppression of osteoclasts limits the quantity of calcium released into the blood. Furthermore, it can reduce calcium resorption in the kidneys, resulting in decreased blood calcium levels.
If you have osteoporosis, avoid smoking, or try to quit. Smoking can reduce bone mineral density and increases the risk of fractures.
UNICALCIN 100IU INJECTION 1ML contains Calcitonin, a hormone that regulates the calcium level in the blood. This hormone helps in bone formation and also helps the body to reverse bone loss. Due to this, the number of cells that damages bones becomes comparatively less. Hence, the bone damage is halted. Using UNICALCIN 100IU INJECTION 1ML can increase bone formation by activation of the bone-forming cells.
Persons whose age is more than 45 years have low estrogen levels, females reaching menopause, too much consumption of alcohol, tobacco or caffeine, use of glucocorticoids and lack of calcium and vitamin D in foods are some of the factors that can increase the risk of osteoporosis.
Yes, UNICALCIN 100IU INJECTION 1ML is used together with calcium and vitamin D to treat bone loss in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis who have been postmenopausal for at least five years. UNICALCIN 100IU INJECTION 1ML inhibits the function of osteoclasts (bone breakdown), reducing bone resorption; thus, combining calcium and calcitonin could result in a positive bone balance.

About UNICALCIN 100IU INJECTION 1ML

UNICALCIN 100IU INJECTION 1ML belongs to groups of medications called hypocalcemic agents, used to treat high blood calcium levels (hypercalcemia) and Postmenopausal Osteoporosis. Besides this, it can also help treat complications of Paget's disease. Hypercalcemia is a condition in which the calcium level in your blood is above normal. Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a medical condition that causes thinning and weakening of the bones during/after a menopausal period. Paget’s disease is a chronic disease of bone that disrupts the replacement of old bone tissue with new bone tissue, resulting in the new bone that is abnormally shaped, weak and brittle.

UNICALCIN 100IU INJECTION 1ML contains Calcitonin. It reduces the activity of osteoclasts, which are the cells responsible for bone breakdown. When bone is broken down, the calcium in the bone is released into the bloodstream. As a result, calcitonin's suppression of osteoclasts limits the quantity of calcium released into the blood. Furthermore, it can reduce calcium resorption in the kidneys, resulting in decreased blood calcium levels.

Special Advise

  • Certain diagnostic tests, like blood tests, measure the calcitonin level in your blood, and bone density scans are used to check bone mineral density (BMD).
  • Clinical monitoring of serum electrolyte concentrations is recommended.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • A person should consume calcium and vitamin D in their diet as it helps make stronger bones and avoid everyday osteoporosis dangers.
  • A post-menopausal woman should limit salt intake as it can pose a high risk of losing more bone minerals than other women of the same age.
  • Do regular exercise like weight-bearing exercises which are important for maintaining bone health.
  • Calcium is important for making bones strong. Vitamin D is equally important, which helps to ensure the absorption and retention of calcium in bones, so take food high in calcium and vitamins.
