About Calcito-S 100IU Injection 1 ml

Calcito-S 100IU Injection 1 ml belongs to groups of medications called hypocalcemic agents, used to treat high blood calcium levels (hypercalcemia) and Postmenopausal Osteoporosis. Besides this, it can also help treat complications of Paget's disease. Hypercalcemia is a condition in which the calcium level in your blood is above normal. Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a medical condition that causes thinning and weakening of the bones during/after a menopausal period. Paget’s disease is a chronic disease of bone that disrupts the replacement of old bone tissue with new bone tissue, resulting in the new bone that is abnormally shaped, weak and brittle.

Calcito-S 100IU Injection 1 ml contains Calcitonin. It reduces the activity of osteoclasts, which are the cells responsible for bone breakdown. When bone is broken down, the calcium in the bone is released into the bloodstream. As a result, calcitonin's suppression of osteoclasts limits the quantity of calcium released into the blood. Furthermore, it can reduce calcium resorption in the kidneys, resulting in decreased blood calcium levels.

  • A post-menopausal woman should limit salt intake as it can pose a high risk of losing more bone minerals than other women of the same age.

  • Do regular exercise like weight-bearing exercises which are important for maintaining bone health.

  • Calcium is important for making bones strong. Vitamin D is equally important, which helps to ensure the absorption and retention of calcium in bones, so take food high in calcium and vitamins.
