About PTH 30 Tablet (Cinacalcet):

PTH 30 Tablet contains Cinacalcet as the active ingredient, used to treat hyperparathyroidism and hypercalcemia (elevated blood calcium levels). Parathyroid glands, located in the neck, produce parathyroid hormone (PTH) which regulates calcium and phosphorus balance. Overactivity of these glands can cause hyperparathyroidism, leading to high blood calcium levels. In rare cases, it may be due to cancer or benign tumors. PTH 30 Tablet should be taken strictly as prescribed by a doctor and is available in pharmacies and medical stores.
