About Denoci 120 Injection
Denoci 120 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. Denoci 120 Injection is also used to treat bone loss due to reduced testosterone level caused by surgery, due to the treatment with medicines such as glucocorticoids and in patients with prostate cancer. Denoci 120 Injection may also be used to reduce the risk of fractures in people with multiple myeloma, giant cell tumour of the bone, and to treat high calcium levels caused by cancer.
Denoci 120 Injection contains Denosumab, which works by blocking a receptor in the body that causes bone loss, thereby treating bone loss. Denoci 120 Injection treats giant cell tumour of bone (GCTB) by blocking certain receptors in the tumour cells, thereby slowing the growth of the tumour. Denoci 120 Injection helps treat high calcium levels by decreasing bone breakdown, as a breakdown of the bones releases calcium. Denoci 120 Injection makes the bones stronger and less likely to break.
