Treatments
Depending on the causes and symptoms, there are many treatments for hypoparathyroidism. The main goal is to restore the balance of minerals and calcium in the body. Initial options involve taking vitamin D and calcium carbonate supplements in the pill form. The dosages can be determined to ensure the levels of PTH, magnesium, phosphorus, and calcium can be in the normal ranges. In many severe cases, patients need to take these supplements for the rest of their lives to stabilize the symptoms. Calcium can be injected intravenously when muscle spasms cause life-threatening conditions. Another option is the taking of diuretics to reduce the amount of calcium buildup in your urine. [6]
