Denotec 120 mg Injection 1.7 ml

Denotec 120 mg Injection 1.7 ml 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. Denotec 120 mg Injection 1.7 ml 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. Denotec 120 mg Injection 1.7 ml 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.
 
Denotec 120 mg Injection 1.7 ml contains Denosumab, which works by blocking a receptor in the body that causes bone loss, thereby treating bone loss. Denotec 120 mg Injection 1.7 ml treats giant cell tumour of bone (GCTB) by blocking certain receptors in the tumour cells, thereby slowing the growth of the tumour. Denotec 120 mg Injection 1.7 ml helps treat high calcium levels by decreasing bone breakdown, as a breakdown of the bones releases calcium. Denotec 120 mg Injection 1.7 ml makes the bones stronger and less likely to break.
 
Denotec 120 mg Injection 1.7 ml will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. Sometimes, you may experience common side effects such as bone/joint/muscle pain, arm/leg pain, abdominal discomfort, constipation, and painful/frequent urination.

Denotec 120 mg Injection 1.7 ml used to treat osteoporosis, bone loss, giant cell tumour of the bone, and high calcium levels. The detailed uses of Denotec 120 mg Injection 1.7 ml are as follows:

• Management of Osteoporosis: Denotec 120 mg Injection 1.7 ml treats osteoporosis in postmenopausal women, increasing bone density and reducing fracture risk.
• Giant cell tumour of the bone treatment: Denotec 120 mg Injection 1.7 ml is prescribed for the treatment of giant cell tumour of the bone, which helps by reducing tumour size and slowing its growth.
• Increases bone mass: Denotec 120 mg Injection 1.7 ml increases bone mass in patients at high risk for fracture, including those undergoing androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer or adjuvant aromatase inhibitor therapy for breast cancer.
• Hypercalcemia Treatment: Denotec 120 mg Injection 1.7 ml treats hypercalcemia caused by cancer, helping normalise calcium levels in the blood.
• Paget’s Disease: Denotec 120 mg Injection 1.7 ml treats Paget’s disease by alleviating bone pain and complications caused by enlarged and deformed bones.

• Your doctor will determine the dosage and timing of Denotec 120 mg Injection 1.7 ml based on your health condition. Usually, it is given once every 6 months.

Denotec 120 mg Injection 1.7 ml 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. Denotec 120 mg Injection 1.7 ml 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. Denotec 120 mg Injection 1.7 ml 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 by cancer. Denotec 120 mg Injection 1.7 ml binds to a protein on RANK ligand on osteoclast (cells that cause bone breakdown) and inhibits their formation, functioning and survival. It decreases bone breakdown, increases bone density, and strengthens the bone. Denotec 120 mg Injection 1.7 ml treats giant cell tumour of bone (GCTB) by blocking certain receptors in the tumour cells, thereby slowing the growth of the tumour. Denotec 120 mg Injection 1.7 ml helps treat high calcium levels by decreasing bone breakdown, as the breakdown of the bones releases calcium. Denotec 120 mg Injection 1.7 ml makes the bones stronger and less likely to break.

Do not take Denotec 120 mg Injection 1.7 ml if you are allergic to any of its components or have hypocalcaemia (low levels of calcium in the blood). Inform your doctor if you have low levels of calcium, kidney dysfunction, liver problems, poor dental health, gum problems, weak immune system, hypoparathyroidism (decreased function of the parathyroid gland), malabsorption, latex allergy, undergone thyroid surgery, planned dental procedure, if you are taking glucocorticoids, or cannot take calcium and vitamin D supplements. Avoid taking Denotec 120 mg Injection 1.7 ml if you are pregnant. Consult your doctor if you are breastfeeding.
