Frequently asked questions about Biocalcin Products

Frequently asked questions about Calcitonin (Salmon)

Q. How long should you take Biocalcin 100IU Injection?
The duration of therapy will depend on the response of the patient towards the therapy and side effects if any encountered during the therapy. Biocalcin 100IU Injection is usually prescribed for a long period in diseases of bone. However, the need for a long and continued therapy has to be assessed from time to time. This is because there are chances of cancer on long-term administration of this medicine.
Q. Does Biocalcin 100IU Injection build bone?
Biocalcin 100IU Injection contains calcitonin which is a hormone that regulates the calcium level in the blood. This hormone helps the body to reverse bone loss and sometimes also helps in bone formation. Due to this, the number of cells that damage bones becomes comparatively less, hence the bone damage is halted. It has been observed that using Biocalcin 100IU Injection can initially increase bone formation by mild activation of the bone-forming cells.
Q. What is the difference between calcitriol and Biocalcin 100IU Injection?
Calcitriol is the active form of vitamin D and is produced in the kidneys. Calcitriol is also given as a supplement and helps in calcium metabolism in our body. The prime role of calcitriol is to increase the absorption of calcium from the gut, decrease its excretion from the kidneys, and increased deposition of calcium in bones, thereby helping in the maintenance of normal bone health. Whereas, Biocalcin 100IU Injection contains calcitonin which is a hormone that regulates blood calcium levels by excreting the extra calcium from the blood through urine. Both the hormone helps in maintaining the calcium balance in our body.
Q. Does Biocalcin 100IU Injection help with pain?
Biocalcin 100IU Injection is not an analgesic medication that reduces the pain directly. Patients with osteoporosis experience pain in the bone as a common symptom. Biocalcin 100IU Injection is used in osteoporosis for the prevention of bone loss and damage which will indirectly lead to a decrease in the pain perceived by the individual. There are some reports of partial analgesic activity of Biocalcin 100IU Injection, but the fact is yet to be established.
Q. Should I follow any special dietary instructions or take dietary supplements along with Biocalcin 100IU Injection?
Yes, it is recommended to take an adequate amount of calcium-containing food while you are prescribed Biocalcin 100IU Injection for the treatment of osteoporosis. Also, your prescribing physician may ask you to take calcium and vitamin D supplements if your dietary intake is not enough.
