Miacalcin (Calcitonin (Salmon)) - Drug Interactions, Contraindications, Overdosage, etc

 
 



DRUG INTERACTIONS

No formal drug interaction studies have been performed with Miacalcin nasal spray.

Concomitant use of calcitonin-salmon and lithium may lead to a reduction in plasma lithium concentrations due to increased urinary clearance of lithium. The dose of lithium may require adjustment.

OVERDOSAGE

The pharmacologic actions of Miacalcin nasal spray suggest that hypocalcemic tetany could occur in overdose. Therefore, provisions for parenteral administration of calcium should be available for the treatment of overdose.

Single doses of Miacalcin nasal spray up to 1600 International Units, doses up to 800 International Units per day for 3 days and chronic administration of doses up to 600 International Units per day have been studied without serious adverse effects.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

Hypersensitivity to calcitonin-salmon or any of the excipients. Reactions have included anaphylactic shock, anaphylaxis, bronchospasm, and swelling of the tongue or throat [see Warnings and Precautions].
