Consumer:

The use of etelcalcetide may cause seizures due to significant reductions in corrected serum calcium. Patients with a history of seizure disorder may be at increased risk for seizures if they develop hypocalcemia due to etelcalcetide therapy. It is recommended to measure corrected serum calcium prior to and within 1 week after initiation or dose adjustment and every 4 weeks during treatment. Do not initiate in patients if the corrected serum calcium is less than the lower limit of normal. Close monitor corrected serum calcium in patients with seizure disorders receiving etelcalcetide. Dose reduction or discontinuation of therapy may be necessary if corrected serum calcium falls below the lower limit of normal or symptoms of hypocalcemia develop.
