Faq for medicine:

Q: Is Unicalcin a steroid hormone/ peptide hormone/ bisphosphonate/ thyroid hormone?
A: Unicalcin is not a steroid hormone/ peptide hormone/ bisphosphonate. However, Unicalcin occurs naturally in the body. It is also available as a man-made polypeptide hormone

Q: Is calcitonin lipid soluble/ hydrophilic/ water soluble?
A: Calcitonin is a hydrophilic, water soluble hormone

Q: Is Unicalcin effective for osteoporosis?
A: Unicalcin is a naturally occurring thyroid hormone which is used to prevent and to treat thinning and weakening of the bone (osteoporosis) in post-menopausal women

Q: Does Unicalcin stimulate osteoclasts?
A: Osteoclast is a type of bone cell which carry out dissolution and absorption of bone. Unicalcin is a naturally occurring hormone secreted by thyroid gland in the body, which stops the activity of osteoclasts, thereby stops bone removal by the osteoclasts

Q: Does Unicalcin stimulate/ inhibit osteoblast activity/ stimulate bone growth?
A: Osteoblast is a type of bone cell which carry out bone formation. Whether Unicalcin stimulates or promotes the bone formation or resorption by the osteoblasts is uncertain

Q: Does Unicalcin cause cancer?
A: Long term treatment with Unicalcin for osteoporosis and osteoarthritis has shown an increase in the risk of cancer in clinical trials

Q: Does calcitonin increases calcium levels?
A: Calcitonin does not increase calcium levels. It is a naturally occurring hormone secreted by the thyroid gland in the body, which is used to reduce high calcium levels in the blood (hypercalcemia) due to cancer

Q: Does Unicalcin decreases phosphate?
A: Yes, Unicalcin decreases phosphate resorption by direct action on the kidney.
