Breastfeeding

This medicine should not be used by breastfeeding mothers. Consult your doctor before using it if you are nursing.

Alcohol

Interactions of Gemtide 250 MCG Cartridge Injection 3 ML

Drug-Drug Interactions

Gemtide 250 MCG Cartridge Injection can interact with the following medicines:

Cardiac glycosides (e.g., digoxin): Interaction due to altered calcium levels, potentially increasing the risk of digoxin toxicity.
Thiazide diuretics (e.g., hydrochlorothiazide and indapamide): Interaction by increasing calcium reabsorption, potentially enhancing hypercalcemia risk.
Loop diuretics (e.g., furosemide): Interaction through potential hypocalcemia, which may influence Teriparatide's efficacy.

Drug-Food Interactions

There are no specific food items known to interact negatively with Gemtide 250 MCG Cartridge Injection.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Gemtide 250 MCG Cartridge Injection can interact with the following diseases:

Hypercalcemia (high calcium level): Exacerbates pre-existing hypercalcemia, reducing the safety of Teriparatide.
Severe kidney impairment: May reduce Teriparatide clearance, increasing medication levels and risk of adverse effects.
Metabolic bone diseases other than osteoporosis: May alter efficacy and safety due to differing pathophysiology.
Unexplained elevations of alkaline phosphatase: Interaction suggests potential undiagnosed bone pathology, contraindicating Teriparatide.
Prior radiation therapy involving the skeleton: Increases risk of osteosarcoma, a contraindication for Teriparatide.
Skeletal malignancies or bone metastases: Inappropriate use, as Teriparatide may stimulate malignant cell growth.

Dosage of Gemtide 250 MCG Cartridge Injection 3 ML

Daily Dose

Your doctor will prescribe the daily dose of Gemtide 250 MCG Cartridge Injection. This may vary depending on your health status and how well you respond to the medicine. It is crucial to follow your doctor's instructions and not alter the dosage without consulting them first.

Missed Dose

If you forget to take a dose of Gemtide 250 MCG Cartridge Injection as scheduled, consult your doctor for advice.

Store Gemtide 250 MCG Cartridge Injection in a cool, dry place.

It is advisable to follow a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D while taking this medication, as these nutrients are essential for bone health.
Regular monitoring of bone density is advised to assess the progress of osteoporosis management.
Limiting the intake of caffeine and alcohol, which can inhibit calcium absorption, is also recommended.
