What is Parsabiv?

Parsabiv contains the prescription medicine etelcalcetide and is classed as a calcimimetic. Parsabiv is used for the treatment of an overactive parathyroid gland (hyperparathyroidism) in adults with chronic kidney failure that are on dialysis. Parsabiv is not recommended for adult patients with parathyroid carcinoma, primary hyperparathyroidism, or chronic kidney disease who are not on dialysis.

Parsabiv active ingredients

Etelcalcetide is a calcimimetic agent that has an effect on calcium-sensing receptors (CaSR) in the body. Etelcalcetide attaches itself to these receptors, improving the activation of these receptors by calcium in your blood. These receptors then have an effect on parathyroid cells of reducing their parathyroid hormone production.

Parsabiv is given as an infusion directly into a vein. A healthcare professional will give you this injection as part of your dialysis treatment. Parsabiv is given at the end of dialysis, usually 3 times per week. Your doctor may change your dose or how often you are given your infusion. Also, you may require regular medical tests by your doctor while using Parsabiv to check how effective this medicine is for you.
