Product Introduction
Cinapar 30mg tablet is a calcimimetic medication containing the active ingredient cinacalcet. This medication is used to treat hyperparathyroidism (overactivity of the parathyroid glands, which are small glands located in the neck) in patients with chronic kidney disease who are on dialysis. It is also used to treat hypercalcaemia in patients with parathyroid carcinoma (a rare type of cancer that develops in the parathyroid glands). It helps regulate the levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in the body.
Before consuming this drug, inform your physician if you have had liver or heart failure or heart rhythm problems and have a history of seizures (fits or convulsions), as the risk of having seizures might be higher if you have experienced them. Cinapar 30mg tablet should not be taken by children under the age of 18 who have parathyroid cancer or primary hyperparathyroidism. This medication is not suitable for this age group for these conditions.
If you are receiving treatment for secondary hyperparathyroidism, your doctor will carefully monitor your calcium levels before you start using the drug and throughout your treatment with the medication. Cinapar 30mg tablet helps to reduce calcium levels in the body. However, in some cases, low calcium levels (hypocalcaemia) have been reported in adults and children undergoing treatment. Therefore, you must inform your physician if you develop any indicative signs of low calcium levels, such as muscle spasms, twitches, cramps, numbness or tingling sensations in your extremities or around your mouth, and loss of consciousness while receiving this drug.
Inform your physician if you are pregnant, suspect pregnancy, or planning to become pregnant. It is unknown if this medicine passes into breast milk. Please consult your doctor before breastfeeding.
