About CALCIJET 1MCG INJECTION 1ML

CALCIJET 1MCG INJECTION 1ML belongs to the class of a vitamin D analogue. Calcitriol is used to treat or prevent some complications associated with long-term kidney dialysis, such as low calcium levels (Hypocalcaemia). Hypocalcaemia is characterized by low levels of calcium in the blood. A lack or inadequacy of vitamin D can cause hypocalcaemia.

CALCIJET 1MCG INJECTION 1ML contains calcitriol. It increases the levels of vitamin D in your blood, which in turn raises calcium levels thus, it helps to treat patients with low levels of calcium who are on chronic renal dialysis.

CALCIJET 1MCG INJECTION 1ML is given by a health care professional in a hospital or clinic setting. In some cases, CALCIJET 1MCG INJECTION 1ML can cause side effects like Nausea, headache, constipation, or pain/discomfort at the injection site may occur. Most of these side effects of CALCIJET 1MCG INJECTION 1ML do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.

Before taking the CALCIJET 1MCG INJECTION 1ML, let your doctor know about all your medical conditions, sensitivities, and all medications you are using. Inform your doctor if you have too much calcium or vitamin D in the blood before receiving the CALCIJET 1MCG INJECTION 1ML. And also, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
