Apatide 60 mg contains Denosumab, a medication used to treat conditions involving bone loss. It belongs to a class of drugs called RANK ligand inhibitors, and is most commonly used to strengthen bones and reduce the risk of fractures in individuals with certain cancers or osteoporosis.

Mechanism of Action:

Denosumab works by blocking a protein called RANKL, which normally activates cells that break down bone (osteoclasts). By inhibiting this process, Apatide helps slow down bone destruction and allows bone density to increase. This leads to stronger bones and a reduced chance of fractures.

Uses:

Apatide is used in the following conditions:

• Osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and men at high risk of fractures

• Bone loss due to hormone therapy in breast or prostate cancer patients

• To prevent bone complications in adults with bone metastases from solid tumors

  Adverse Effects:

  While many people tolerate it well, some may experience side effects such as:

  • Muscle, joint, or back pain

  • Low calcium levels in the blood

  • Skin infections like cellulitis

  • Rashes or itching

  • Rarely, it may cause serious effects like osteonecrosis of the jaw or unusual thigh bone fractures
