Apparently it is a medication to reduce calcium. We are in Scotland. She has been in hospital twice because of high calcium.
Tht is not a thyroid hormone or anything to do with the thyroid - it is prescribed for parathyroid problems to decrease calcium. In spite of the name, the parathyoid gland and completely different from the thyroid. You'd do better asking on a forum dedicated to parathyroid problems.
