Unicalcin 100IU Injection contains an active component as Calcitonin. It is a hormone that plays a role in calcium regulation in the body. The thyroid gland primarily produces it and helps to lower blood calcium levels by inhibiting calcium release from bones and increasing calcium excretion by the kidneys. In medical practice, synthetic versions are used as medications to treat certain conditions. This medication treats postmenopausal osteoporosis, Paget's disease (type of bone disease), and hypercalcemia and prevents bone loss in patients suffering from fractures. It makes the bone stronger and prevents further damage. Unicalcin 100IU Injection may alleviate bone pain in some cancer patients whose cancer has metastasized to the bones.

This medication should not be used in individuals who have a known hypersensitivity or allergy to Unicalcin 100IU Injection or any of its components. Allergic reactions may include skin rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing. This medication is used to lower blood calcium levels, so it should not be administered to patients with already low calcium levels (hypocalcemia). Patients with impaired kidney function may need dosage adjustments, as the kidneys excrete this medication. Close monitoring is essential to prevent any potential accumulation of the medication. Unicalcin 100IU Injection may cause gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. 

Uses of Unicalcin 100iu InjectionUnicalcin 100IU Injection is used to treat the following:

  • Hypercalcemia
  • Paget’s disease
  • Postmenopausal osteoporosis
  • Prevention of fracture.

Therapeutic Effects of Unicalcin 100iu Injection

The therapeutic effect of Unicalcin 100IU Injection lies in its ability to regulate calcium levels in the body. As a hormone medication, this medication helps to reduce bone resorption and inhibits the release of calcium from bones, leading to decreased blood calcium levels. This effect is particularly beneficial in treating conditions such as osteoporosis, where it can slow down bone loss and potentially reduce the risk of fractures. This medicine also finds application in managing Paget's disease of bone, where it helps control abnormal bone remodeling and alleviates associated symptoms. Moreover, in emergency cases of hypercalcemia, this medication rapidly lowers blood calcium levels, relieving severe symptoms and preventing complications.
