FAQ's on Unicalcin 50IU Injection

Should I follow any special dietary instructions or take dietary supplement along with Unicalcin injection?

Yes, it is recommended to take adequate amount of calcium-containing food while you are prescribed Unicalcin for the treatment of osteoporosis. In addition, your prescribing physician may also ask you to take calcium and vitamin D supplements if your dietary intake is not enough.

Does Unicalcin help with pain?

Unicalcin is not an analgesic medicine which reduces the pain directly. Patients with osteoporosis experience pain in bone as a common symptom. Unicalcin 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 Unicalcin, but the fact is yet to be established.

Does Unicalcin build bone?

Unicalcin contains calcitonin which is a hormone that regulates the calcium level in the blood. This hormone helps the body to reverse the bone loss and sometimes also helps in bone formation. Due to this, the number of cells which damages bones becomes comparatively less, hence the bone damage is halted. It has been observed that using Unicalcin can initially increase bone formation by mild activation of the bone forming cells.

What is the difference between calcitriol and Unicalcin?

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 maintenance of normal bone health. Whereas, Unicalcin 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.

How long should you take Unicalcin?

The duration of therapy will depend on the response of the patient towards the therapy and side effects if any encountered during the therapy. Unicalcin is usually prescribed for a long period in diseases of bone. However, the need of 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.
