WHAT ZEMPLAR IS AND WHAT IS IT USED FOR
Zemplar contains the active substance paricalcitol, which is a
synthetic form of active vitamin D.
Active vitamin D is required for the normal functioning of many
tissues in the body, including the
parathyroid gland and bones. In people who have normal kidney
function, this active form of vitamin
D is naturally produced by the kidneys, but in kidney failure the
production of active vitamin D is
markedly reduced. Zemplar therefore provides a source of active
vitamin D, when the body cannot
produce enough and helps to prevent the consequences of low levels of
active vitamin D, in patients
with chronic kidney disease namely high levels of parathyroid hormone
which can cause bone
problems. Zemplar is used in adult patients with kidney disease Stages

4. Clinical particulars
4.1 Therapeutic indications
Paricalcitol is indicated in adults for the prevention and treatment
of secondary hyperparathyroidism in
patients with chronic kidney disease Stage 5 who are undergoing
haemodialysis.
4.2 Posology and method of administration
Posology
_Adults_
1) Initial dose should be calculated based on baseline parathyroid
hormone (PTH) levels:
The initial dose of paricalcitol is based on the following formula:
and administered as an intravenous (IV) bolus dose no more frequently
then every other day at any time
during dialysis.
The maximum dose safely administered in clinical studies was as high
as 40 micrograms.
2) Titration dose:
The currently accepted target range for PTH levels in end-stage renal
failure subjects undergoing dialysis
is no more than 1.5 to 3 times the non-uremic upper limit of normal,
15.9 to 31.8 pmol/l (150-300 pg/ml),
for intact PTH. Close monitoring and individual dose titration are
necessary to reach appropriate
physiological endpoints. If hypercalcaemia or a persistently elevated
corrected Ca x P product greater
than 5.2 mmol
