Cinacalcet is a drug that acts as a calcimimetic (i.e. it mimics the action of calcium on tissues). It is sold by Amgen under the trade name Sensipar® in North America and Australia and as Mimpara® in Europe. Cinacalcet is used to treat hyperparathyroidism (elevated parathyroid hormone levels), a consequence of parathyroid tumors and chronic renal failure.
