SENSIPAR Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Warnings & Dosing
What is SENSIPAR?

What dosages is SENSIPAR available in?

What is SENSIPAR used for?
SENSIPAR is a calcimimetic that is used to treat high calcium levels from:
- Overactive parathyroid that can’t be removed by surgery
- Overactive parathyroid in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who are on dialysis

How does SENSIPAR work?
SENSIPAR is in a drug class called calcimimetics. It works on your parathyroid glands to lower the amount of parathyroid hormone they produce. In doing so, it lowers the amount of calcium and phosphorus in your body.
How do I take SENSIPAR?
For overactive parathyroid in CKD: The typical starting dose is 30 mg by mouth once daily with food or after a meal. Your provider will adjust the dose based on your parathyroid hormone levels, as well as blood calcium and phosphorus levels. The maximum dose is 180 mg once daily. For overactive parathyroid and parathyroid cancer: The typical starting dose is 30 mg by mouth twice daily with food or after a meal. Your provider will adjust the dose based on your blood calcium levels. The maximum dose is 90 mg three to four times daily.
Is it safe for me to take SENSIPAR?
SENSIPAR is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects. You should always discuss potential side effects with your physician to ensure the medication is suitable and right for you. You should not use this medication if your serum calcium is less than
