Consumer:

Hypocalcemic effects during amifostine therapy are rare, but appear to result from inhibition of parathyroid hormone secretion and bone resorption and from increased urinary calcium elimination. Therapy with amifostine should be administered cautiously in patients with or predisposed to hypocalcemia, including hypoparathyroidism.
