Calcitonin Salmon
別名: Miacalcin, Calcimar, Fortical
Calcitonin is a hormone used to rapidly lower dangerously high calcium levels in the blood, or to treat severe metabolic bone disease (especially in reptiles). * **Administration**: It must be given by injection, as it is destroyed in the stomach if given orally. * **Side Effects**: Watch your pet for loss of appetite or vomiting. Let your veterinarian know if these occur. * **Monitoring**: Your veterinarian will need to perform frequent blood tests to monitor calcium levels and ensure they do not drop too low. * **Reptile Owners**: If treating metabolic bone disease, calcitonin is only one part of the therapy. Correcting diet, lighting (UVB), and providing calcium supplements as directed by your veterinarian are critical for long-term success.
劑量必須由獸醫按你寵物的個別情況決定。切勿在沒有獸醫指導下給予人類藥物或其他寵物的處方藥。
