Parsabiv 10 mg etelcalcetide vials × 6 (refrigerated)

Parsabiv is a medication used to treat secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who are on dialysis.

• • SHPT is a condition where the parathyroid glands, located in the neck, produce too much parathyroid hormone (PTH).

• • This can lead to high levels of calcium in the blood. Parsabiv works by lowering PTH levels and helping to regulate calcium levels.

How to Use:

• • Parsabiv is administered as an injection by a healthcare professional.

• • It is typically given three times a week at the end of a dialysis session.

• • The exact dosage will be determined by your doctor based on your individual needs and blood calcium levels.

Warnings and Precautions:

• • Hypocalcemia: Parsabiv can lower your blood calcium levels. If you experience symptoms of low blood calcium, such as muscle cramps, numbness, or tingling, contact your doctor immediately.

• • Allergic Reactions: Some people may have allergic reactions to Parsabiv. If you experience symptoms of an allergic reaction, such as hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing, seek medical attention right away.

• • Kidney Problems: If you have severe kidney problems, your doctor may need to adjust your Parsabiv dosage.

• • Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, talk to your doctor about the potential risks and benefits of using Parsabiv.

Ingredients:

• The active ingredient in Parsabiv is etelcalcetide. It also contains inactive ingredients, such as sodium chloride, hydrochloric acid, and water for injection.
