1.
WHAT PARSABIV IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Parsabiv contains the active substance etelcalcetide, which reduces
parathyroid hormone known as
PTH.
Parsabiv is used to treat secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients
with serious kidney disease who
need haemodialysis to clear their blood of waste products.
In secondary hyperparathyroidism too much PTH is produced by the
parathyroid glands (four small
glands in the neck). “Secondary” means that the
hyperparathyroidism is caused by another condition,
e.g. kidney disease. Secondary hyperparathyroidism can cause the loss
of calcium from the bones,
which can lead to bone pain and fractures and problems with blood and
heart vessels. By controlling
the levels of PTH, Parsabiv helps to control calcium and phosphate in
your body.
2.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU USE PARSABIV
DO NOT USE PARSABIV
-
if you are allergic to etelcalcetide or any of the other ingredients
of this medicine (listed in
section 6).
-
if you have very low levels of calcium in your blood. Your doctor will
monitor your blood
calcium levels.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The recommended initial dose of etelcalcetide is 5 mg administered by
bolus injection 3 times per
week. Corrected serum calcium should be at or above the lower limit of
the normal range prior to
administration of first dose of Parsabiv, a dose increase, or
reinitiation after a dose stop (see also dose
adjustments based on serum calcium levels). Parsabiv should not be
administered more frequently than
3 times per week.
_Dose titration_
Parsabiv should be titrated so that doses are individualised between
2.5 mg and 15 mg. The dose may
be increased in 2.5 mg or 5 mg increments no more frequently than
every 4 weeks to a maximum dose
of 15 mg 3 times per week to achieve the desired parathyroid hormone
(PTH) target.
3
_Dose adjustments based on PTH levels_
PTH should be measured after 4 weeks from initiation or dose
adjustment of Parsabiv, and
approximately every 1-3 months during maintenance. Dose adjustment may
be necessary at any time
during
