Cinacalcet hydrochloride - Primary Hyperparathyroidism

The Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care System Area Prescribing Committee has agreed a BLUE (on specialist team initiation) traffic light status for cinacalcet prescribing for Primary Hyperparathyroidism. Cinacalcet will be initiated by the specialists and prescribing will be transferred to primary care after dose optimisation.

Patients already established on cinacalcet treatment can be transferred to primary care following their next routine clinic appointment with at least 1 month supply of cinacalcet to enable a smooth transfer. The primary care prescriber should be provided with the dose to be prescribed and the frequency of serum calcium monitoring in all cases.
