Uses

Uses of Pamidria 60mg Injection

In Hypercalcemia Calcium is a mineral found in different places in your body and has many functions including bone growth
Most of your calcium should be in your bones
When you have more calcium in your blood than normal it is called hypercalcaemia (high blood calcium levels)
It is a serious condition and affects a large number of people with cancer
Pamidria 60mg Injection is a type of medicine called a bisphosphonate
It reduces the amount of calcium in your blood by slowing down the rate at which bone is broken down in your body
This medicine is normally only given once by injection to treat hypercalcaemia, but you may need additional doses
Make sure you attend all appointments with your doctor
Being immobile makes hypercalcaemia worse
Whenever possible you should take regular exercise, especially weight-bearing exercise
Do not take calcium or vitamin D3 supplements and try to decrease your intake of these in your diet.
