Because it is a large peptide, any systemic absorption by the infant is unlikely because it is probably destroyed in the infant's gastrointestinal tract. An increase in serum calcium concentrations helps to reduce bone resorption and loss of bone mass, and offsets the effect of calcitonin in lowering serum calcium levels. If the volume of the injection exceeds 2 mL, intramuscular injection is preferable and multiple injection sites should be used.Visually inspect parenteral products for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration whenever solution and container permit.With chronic use, ensure adequate intake of calcium and vitamin D to reduce the risk of treatment-related hypocalcemia.
