1 PRODUCT MONOGRAPH PR CALCIMAR ® Synthetic Salmon Calcitonin Solution, 200 IU / mL Intramuscular or Subcutaneous Injection Calcium Regulator sanofi-aventis Canada Inc 2905 Place Louis-R.-Renaud Laval, Quebec, H7V 0A3 Date of Revision: June 3, 2020 Submission Control No.: 230132 2 NAME OF DRUG CALCIMAR ® (Calcitonin-Salmon) THERAPEUTIC OR PHARMACOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION Synthetic Salmon Calcitonin ACTIONS CALCIMAR participates in the regulation of the homeostasis of calcium by acting primarily on the bone; in Paget's disease presumably by an initial blocking effect on accelerated bone resorption. The rate of bone turnover appears to be decreased. CALCIMAR participates in the regulation of urinary excretion of phosphate and calcium. Administration of CALCIMAR decreases the volume and acidity of the gastric juice and decreases the volume as well as trypsin and amylase content of the pancreatic juice. (For further details see Clinical Pharmacology section). INDICATIONS 1. Paget's Disease: Treatment of symptomatic Paget's disease, only in patients who do not respond to alternative treatments or for whom such treatments are not suitable. 2. Hypercalcemia: Early treatment of hypercalcemic emergencies, along with other appropriate agents, when a rapid decrease in serum calcium is required, until more specific treatment of the underlying disease can be accomplished. It may also be added to existing therapeutic regimens for hypercalcemia such as intravenous fluids and furosemide, oral phosphate or corticosteroids, or other agents. Calcitonin may be used in patients with azotemia and those with limited cardiac reserve in whom intravenous fluids may be contraindicated. Due to evidence of an increased risk of malignancies with the long term calcitonin use, the treatment duration should be limited to the shortest period of time possible and using the minimum effective dose. 3 CONTRAINDICATIONS Patients who are hypersensitive to CALCIMAR or to any ingredient in the formulation or component of the container.
