Introduction to Cinacet 30mg Tablet
Cinacet 30 mg Tablet is a calcimimetic medication that contains the active ingredient Cinacalcet. It is primarily used to treat hyperparathyroidism (overactivity of the parathyroid glands in the neck) in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing dialysis. Additionally, it is prescribed for managing hypercalcemia (high calcium levels) in individuals with parathyroid carcinoma, a rare cancer affecting the parathyroid glands. Cinacet helps regulate parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels in the body.
Before using this medication, inform your doctor if you have a history of liver or heart failure, heart rhythm issues, or seizures, as the risk of seizures may increase if you’ve experienced them before. Cinacet 30 mg Tablet is not recommended for individuals under 18 with parathyroid cancer or primary hyperparathyroidism, as it is unsuitable for this age group in these conditions. If you’re being treated for secondary hyperparathyroidism, your doctor will closely monitor your calcium levels before and during treatment with this medication.
