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.
