I've recently been prescribed Calcitonin 200iu/ml Inj 2ml for managing high calcium levels and Paget's disease. It's a man-made version of a natural hormone that helps control calcium levels in the body by slowing down bone breakdown and aiding the kidneys in removing excess calcium. I'm curious about others' experiences with this medication. Has anyone found it effective for these conditions? What about side effects? The possible side effects list is quite long, and it's got me a bit concerned. I'm particularly worried about the rare but serious side effects, like allergic reactions and low calcium levels. How common are these really? Any advice on managing the more common side effects, like flushing or upset stomach? I'm also wondering if anyone has tips on how to report side effects effectively to the FDA or their doctor. Let's share our experiences and support each other through this treatment journey.
