WARNINGS Hypotension and/or Worsening Heart Failure In postmarketing safety surveillance, isolated, idiosyncratic cases of hypotension and/or worsening heart failure have been reported in patients with impaired cardiac function, in which a causal relationship to Sensipar could not be completely excluded and may be mediated by reductions in serum calcium levels. Clinical trial data showed hypotension occurred in 7% of Sensipar-treated patients, 12% of placebo-treated patients, and heart failure occurred in 2% of patients receiving Sensipar or placebo. |
