WHAT MIMPARA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Mimpara 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).
Mimpara 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 gland is not possible.
Mimpara is used in children aged 3 years to less than 18 years of age:
•
to treat secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with serious kidney
disease who need
dialysis to clear their blood of waste products, whose condition is
not controlled with other
treatments.
In primary and secondary hyperpa
