Understanding Drugs Acting on Parathyroid Hormones: A Comprehensive Overview
Abstract
The parathyroid glands are crucial in controlling the body's calcium balance. Parathormone affects the intestines, kidneys, and bones. Hyper parathyroidism enhance calcium levels in the blood. Calcimetrics namely cinaclcet mimic the action of the parathyroid glands, thereby decreasing PTH secretion. Biphosphonates like alendronate is useful in treating hyperparathyroidism by decreasing bone resorption. Hypo parathyroidism happens due to an insufficient production of PTH. Hypothyroidism needs supplementation with calcium and vitamin D. Calcium carbonate and calcium citrate are helpful in treating hypo parathyroidi msm. Vitamin D analogues such as alpha calcium and cacitriol play a role in increasing calcium absorption from the intestines. Synthetic parathyroid hormone ( teriparatide) is used regarding treatment of hypo parathyroidism. Finally it is concluded that drugs acting on parathyroid hormones play a role particularly in managing disorders regarding calcium homeostasis.
