Key Benefits
UNICALCIN 50IU INJECTION 1ML contains calcitonin, which belongs to groups of medications called hypocalcemic agents and is used to treat high blood calcium levels (hypercalcemia) and Postmenopausal Osteoporosis. On the other hand, it can also help people with Paget’s disease of bone. UNICALCIN 50IU INJECTION 1ML 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, decreasing blood calcium levels.
