WHAT CINACALCET MYLAN IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Cinacalcet Mylan contains the active ingredient cinacalcet, which
works by controlling the levels of
parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcium and phosphorous in your body. It is
used to treat problems with
organs called parathyroid glands. The parathyroids are four small
glands in the neck, near the thyroid
gland, that produce parathyroid hormone (PTH).
Cinacalcet Mylan is used in adults:
•
to treat secondary hyperparathyroidism in adults with serious kidney
disease who need dialysis
to clear their blood of waste products
•
to reduce high levels of calcium in the blood (hypercalcaemia) in
adult patients with parathyroid
cancer
•
to reduce high levels of calcium in the blood (hypercalcaemia) in
adult patients with primary
hyperparathyroidism when removal of the parathyroid gland is not
possible.
Cinacalcet Mylan is used in children aged 3 years to less than 18
years of age:
•
to treat secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with serious kidn
