About Capicet 30 Mg Tablet (Cinacalcet):

Capicet 30 mg Tablet contains Cinacalcet, which is used to treat hyperparathyroidism and hypercalcemia (high blood calcium levels). The parathyroid glands, which are located near the thyroid, produce parathyroid hormone (PTH) that helps maintain the balance of calcium and phosphorus in the body. When these glands produce too much PTH, it can lead to high blood calcium levels. This condition is often caused by benign tumors on the parathyroid glands, although cancer is a rare cause. Capicet is available at most pharmacies and should be taken only with a doctor’s prescription.
