Drug Drug Description Salmon calcitonin A synthetic peptide form of calcitonin used to inhibit bone resorption in the treatment of hypercalcemia, osteoporosis, and Paget's disease. Paricalcitol A vitamin D analog used to treat hyperparathyroidism associated with stage 3 or greater chronic kidney disease. Cinacalcet A calcium sensing receptor agonist used to treat secondary hyperparathyroidism in chronic kidney disease and hypercalcemia in parathyroid carcinoma. Parathyroid hormone An analog of human parathyroid hormone (PTH) used to treat hypocalcemia caused by hypoparathyroidism. Teriparatide A recombinant parathyroid hormone used for the treatment of osteoporosis. Doxercalciferol A synthetic vitamin D2 analog used to treat secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with chronic kidney disease with or without therapy of dialysis. Human calcitonin Human calcitonin is indicated for the treatment of Paget's disease in the cases where the use of salmon calcitonin may provoke the generation of high-titer of antibodies. Paget's disease is... Calcitonin porcine Calcitonin is a polypeptide hormone secreted by the parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland in mammals. It inhibits bone resorption and lowers both serum and urinary calcium concentrations. Human calcitonin... Elcatonin Not Annotated Etelcalcetide A calcium sensing receptor agonist used to treat secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with chronic kidney disease who require hemodialysis. Calcifediol An active metabolite of vitamin D used to treat hyperparathyroidism as well as to combat hypocalcemia in dialysis patients. Abaloparatide A parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) analog used for the treatment of osteoporosis in patients with a high risk of fracture. - Drugs & Drug Targets
