Denmab Pre Filled Syringe 1 ml

Denmab Pre Filled Syringe 1 ml belongs to a group of medicines called RANK ligand inhibitors used to treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and men who have an increased risk of fracture. Denmab Pre Filled Syringe 1 ml is also used to treat bone loss due to reduced testosterone level caused by surgery, due to the treatment with medicines such as glucocorticoids and in patients with prostate cancer. Denmab Pre Filled Syringe 1 ml may also be used to reduce the risk of fractures in people with multiple myeloma, giant cell tumour of the bone, and to treat high calcium levels caused due to cancer.
 
Denmab Pre Filled Syringe 1 ml contains ‘denosumab’, which works by blocking a receptor in the body that causes bone loss, thereby treats bone loss. Denmab Pre Filled Syringe 1 ml treats giant cell tumour of bone (GCTB) by blocking certain receptors in the tumour cells, thereby slowing the tumour growth. Denmab Pre Filled Syringe 1 ml helps treat high calcium levels by decreasing bone breakdown as a breakdown of the bones releases calcium. Denmab Pre Filled Syringe 1 ml makes the bones stronger and less likely to break.
 
Denmab Pre Filled Syringe 1 ml will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. In some cases, you may experience common side-effects such as bone/joint/muscle pain, arm/leg pain, abdominal discomfort, constipation, and painful/frequent urination. You are advised to talk to your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.

Avoid taking Denmab Pre Filled Syringe 1 ml if you are pregnant. Consult your doctor before taking Denmab Pre Filled Syringe 1 ml if you are breastfeeding.

Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any interactions.

Denmab Pre Filled Syringe 1 ml belongs to a group of medicines called RANK ligand inhibitors used to treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and men who have an increased risk of fracture. Denmab Pre Filled Syringe 1 ml is also used to treat bone loss due to reduced hormone levels caused by surgery or due to treatment with medicines in patients with prostate cancer. It is also used to treat bone loss occurring due to long-term treatment with glucocorticoids in patients who are at an increased risk of fractures. Denmab Pre Filled Syringe 1 ml may also be used to reduce the risk of fractures in people with multiple myeloma, giant cell tumours of the bone and to treat high calcium levels caused due to cancer. Denmab Pre Filled Syringe 1 ml binds to a protein on RANK ligand on osteoclast (cells that cause bone breakdown) and inhibits their formation, functioning and survival. Thereby decreases bone breakdown, increases bone density, and strengthens the bone. Denmab Pre Filled Syringe 1 ml treats giant cell tumour of bone (GCTB) by blocking certain receptors in the tumour cells, thereby slows the tumour growth. Denmab Pre Filled Syringe 1 ml helps treat high calcium levels by decreasing bone breakdown as the breakdown of the bones releases calcium. Denmab Pre Filled Syringe 1 ml makes the bones stronger and less likely to break.

Do not take Denmab Pre Filled Syringe 1 ml if you are allergic to any of its components; if you have hypocalcaemia (low levels of calcium in the blood). Inform your doctor if you have low levels of calcium, kidney dysfunction, liver problems, poor dental health, gum problems, weak immune system, hypoparathyroidism (decreased function of the parathyroid gland), malabsorption, latex allergy, undergone thyroid surgery, planned dental procedure, if you are taking glucocorticoids, or cannot take calcium and vitamin D supplements. Avoid taking Denmab Pre Filled Syringe 1 ml if you are pregnant. Consult your doctor if you are breastfeeding. Denmab Pre Filled Syringe 1 ml is not recommended for children below 18 years as safety and effectiveness have not been established.

Drug-Drug Interactions: Denmab Pre Filled Syringe 1 ml may interact with kinase inhibitors (palbociclib).

Drug-Food Interactions: No interactions found/established.

Drug-Disease Interactions: Inform your doctor if you have hypocalcaemia (low levels of calcium in the blood) or immunosuppression.

• PALBOCICLIB

• Include dairy products like milk, yoghurt, cheese, or milk-based custard in your diet.
• Eat daily a serving of broccoli, cabbage, bok choy (Chinese white cabbage), spinach, and other green leafy vegetables.
• Snack on calcium-rich nuts like Brazil nuts or almonds.
• Sprinkle sesame seeds over your food, vegetables, and salads. Sesame seeds are high in calcium.
• Avoid or reduce the intake of caffeine, soft drinks, and alcohol as they may inhibit calcium absorption.
• Replace the meat with tofu or tempeh for extra calcium in your food.

• If you are a woman of child-bearing potential, use effective contraception during the treatment with Denmab Pre Filled Syringe 1 ml and for 5 months after discontinuation. 
• Your doctor might prescribe calcium and vitamin D supplements whilst on treatment with Denmab Pre Filled Syringe 1 ml.

Osteoporosis: It is a bone disease that weakens and thins the bones by decreasing bone density. As the density of bones decreases, they weaken and are more likely to break. Postmenopausal women are more likely to develop osteoporosis than men because, at menopause, women’s ovaries stop producing oestrogen (a female hormone) that is essential to keep bones healthy. Following menopause, bone loss occurs, making bones weak and more likely to break. Osteoporosis can also occur in men due to ageing and/or low levels of testosterone hormone. Signs and symptoms include back pain caused by a fractured or collapsed vertebra, loss of height over time, a stooped posture, bones that break much more easily than expected.
