Cibacalcin - Calcitonin

Calcitonin is also effective in reducing serum calcium levels in life-threatening hypercalcemia however, it is not as rapid or as effective as the bisphosphonates. Subcutaneous administration of salmon (Calcimar) or human (Cibacalcin) calcitonin reduces serum calcium levels within 3 to 5 days in 75 to 90% of malignant hypercalcemias. 

Calcitonin Human calcitonin (Cibacalcin) Salmon calcitonin (Calcimar, Miacalcin) Mimic the effects of endogenous calcitonin and increase bone formation in conditions such as Paget disease and osteoporosis also used to lower plasma calcium levels in hypercalcemic emergencies... 

Hence, calcitonin has emerged as an effective and easy way to treat a variety of conditions that are characterized by increased bone resorption.59,82 Calcitonin preparations used clinically are either identical to the human form of this hormone (Cibacalcin) or chemically identical to salmon calcitonin (Calcimar, Miacal-cin). Redness and swelling may occur locally when these agents are administered by injection. Other side effects include gastrointestinal disturbances (stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea), loss of appetite, and flushing or redness in the head, hands, and feet.

Pontiroli et al. [76] looked at the intranasal absorption of calcitonin in normal subjects. Their study included six healthy volunteers who had no family history of endocrine or metabolic diseases. Human calcitonin (Cibacalcin Ciba-Geigy) was administered intravenously or mixed with sodium glycocholate, a surfactant, in distilled water and instilled as nose drops. Plasma concentrations of calcitonin were found to be consistently higher when compared with intranasal administration of...
