Uses

Medicinal Benefits

Deninta SC Injection belongs to a group of medicines called RANK ligand inhibitors used to treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and men who have an increased risk of fracture. Deninta SC Injection is also used to treat bone loss due to reduced hormone levels caused by surgery or due to treatment with medicines in patients with prostate cancer. It is also used to treat bone loss occurring due to long-term treatment with glucocorticoids in patients who are at an increased risk of fractures. Deninta SC Injection may also be used to reduce the risk of fractures in people with multiple myeloma, giant cell tumours of the bone and to treat high calcium levels caused due to cancer. Deninta SC Injection binds to a protein on RANK ligand on osteoclast (cells that cause bone breakdown) and inhibits their formation, functioning and survival. Thereby decreases bone breakdown, increases bone density, and strengthens the bone. Deninta SC Injection treats giant cell tumour of bone (GCTB) by blocking certain receptors in the tumour cells, thereby slows the tumour growth. Deninta SC Injection helps treat high calcium levels by decreasing bone breakdown as the breakdown of the bones releases calcium. Deninta SC Injection makes the bones stronger and less likely to break.
