Table of contents
Overview
Cinacalcet Accordpharma is a medicine used to treat:
- secondary hyperparathyroidism (overactive parathyroid glands) in adults and children aged 3 years and older with serious kidney disease who need dialysis (to clear their blood of waste products);
- hypercalcaemia (high blood calcium levels) in adults with cancer of the parathyroid glands or with primary hyperparathyroidism when the parathyroid glands cannot be removed.
In hyperparathyroidism, the parathyroid glands in the neck produce too much parathyroid hormone (PTH), which can lead to high levels of blood calcium, bone and joint pain and deformities of the arms and legs. ‘Secondary’ means that it is caused by another condition (serious kidney disease) while ‘primary’ means there is no other cause.
Cinacalcet Accordpharma contains the active substance cinacalcet and is a ‘generic medicine’. This means that Cinacalcet Accordpharma contains the same active substance and works in the same way as a ‘reference medicine’ already authorised in the EU called Mimpara.
