Directions for Use

Dosage

Overdose

Too much of this medicine may cause nausea, vomiting, and flushing. If you think you have taken too much of this medicine, contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital.

Missed a Dose

Your doctor or nurse keeps track of your injection schedule, so contact the clinic if you miss an appointment. If you missed any dose of medicine, take it as soon as you remember. If it's time for your next dose, then skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dose schedule. Do not take a double dose of medicine to compensate for the missed one.

How does this medicine work?

Calcitonin is a hormone that helps keep the level of calcium in the blood balanced. Biocalcin injection slows down the cells that break down bone, so less calcium leaves the bones and passes into the blood. It also helps the kidneys clear extra calcium. Together this brings down high blood calcium and helps keep bones stronger.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can change the way Biocalcin injection works, and it can affect how some other medicines work. Tell your doctor about all the medicines, vitamins, and herbal products you are taking. In particular, mention if you take lithium or other medicines used for bone conditions, as these may need closer monitoring.
