CINASELECT 60

CINASELECT 60 is a prescription medicine containing Cinacalcet Tablets 60 mg, widely used in the management of disorders related to abnormal parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. Manufactured under stringent quality standards, CINASELECT 60 is trusted by healthcare professionals for its proven effectiveness in controlling calcium and phosphorus imbalance in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and parathyroid disorders.

In India, conditions like secondary hyperparathyroidism are increasingly common among patients undergoing dialysis. CINASELECT 60 plays a vital role in improving biochemical balance, reducing complications, and enhancing overall quality of life. This blog provides comprehensive information on Cinacalcet 60 mg uses, benefits, dosage, side effects, precautions, and safety, making it helpful for patients, caregivers, and medical professionals.

What is Cinacalcet Tablets 60 mg?

Cinacalcet belongs to a class of medicines known as calcimimetics. It works by increasing the sensitivity of calcium-sensing receptors on the parathyroid gland. As a result, it reduces the secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH), which helps regulate calcium and phosphorus levels in the blood.

Composition of CINASELECT 60

• Active Ingredient: Cinacalcet Hydrochloride

• Strength: 60 mg

• Dosage Form: Oral Tablet

CINASELECT 60 is commonly prescribed in hospitals, nephrology clinics, and endocrine care settings across India.

Uses of CINASELECT 60 Tablet

CINASELECT 60 is primarily indicated for the following medical conditions:

1. Secondary Hyperparathyroidism

CINASELECT 60 is widely used in patients with chronic kidney disease on dialysis to manage secondary hyperparathyroidism. High PTH levels can lead to bone disorders, cardiovascular issues, and mineral imbalance. Cinacalcet helps reduce PTH levels effectively.

2. Primary Hyperparathyroidism

In patients who are not suitable candidates for surgery, Cinacalcet 60 mg tablets help control high calcium levels associated with primary hyperparathyroidism.

3. Parathyroid Carcinoma

CINASELECT 60 is also prescribed to manage hypercalcemia caused by parathyroid carcinoma, helping reduce dangerously high calcium levels in the blood.

Benefits of CINASELECT 60

CINASELECT 60 offers several clinically significant benefits:

• Helps reduce elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels

• Maintains optimal calcium and phosphorus balance

• Lowers the risk of bone pain, fractures, and skeletal deformities

• Supports better cardiovascular health in CKD patients

• Improves overall treatment outcomes in dialysis patients

• Non-surgical option for patients unsuitable for parathyroid surgery

Its targeted mechanism makes CINASELECT 60 a preferred choice among nephrologists and endocrinologists.

How CINASELECT 60 Works

Cinacalcet works by mimicking the action of calcium on tissues. It increases the sensitivity of calcium-sensing receptors present on the parathyroid gland. This leads to:

• Reduced secretion of PTH

• Decreased release of calcium from bones

• Improved control of serum calcium levels

By correcting hormonal imbalance at the source, CINASELECT 60 helps prevent long-term complications associated with uncontrolled hyperparathyroidism.

Dosage and Administration of CINASELECT 60

Recommended Dosage

The dosage of CINASELECT 60 depends on the patient’s medical condition, laboratory values, and response to treatment.

• CINASELECT 60 is usually taken once or twice daily

• It should be taken with food or shortly after meals

• Dosage adjustments are made based on serum calcium and PTH levels

Important Dosage Advice

• Do not crush or chew the tablet

• Take the medicine at the same time every day

• Never change the dose without consulting your doctor

Regular blood tests are essential to monitor calcium and PTH levels during treatment.

• Vomiting

• Diarrhea

• Loss of appetite

• Dizziness

• Headache

Less Common but Serious Side Effects

• Low calcium levels (hypocalcemia)

• Muscle cramps or spasms

• Tingling sensation in hands or feet

• Seizures (rare)

If symptoms of low calcium appear, immediate medical attention is required.

Precautions and Warnings

Before starting CINASELECT 60, inform your doctor about your complete medical history.

Use in Special Populations

CINASELECT 60 in Kidney Disease

This medicine is especially beneficial for patients with chronic kidney disease on dialysis, where controlling PTH is crucial for long-term health.

CINASELECT 60 in Elderly Patients

No specific dosage adjustment is required, but close monitoring is advised due to increased sensitivity.

CINASELECT 60 During Pregnancy

Cinacalcet should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed and prescribed by a doctor.
