About this item
INTRODUCTION ABOUT CALCINASE NASAL SPRAY
CALCINASE NASAL SPRAY contains Calcitonin which belongs to the group of medicines called Calcium metabolism modifiers. It is used to manage postmenopausal osteoporosis (weak or brittle bones caused during menopause) in women who have crossed 5 years of menopause when other managements are not appropriate.
Prior to the management, the doctor will perform a skin test to determine whether you are allergic to calcitonin or not. During management with CALCINASE NASAL SPRAY, your doctor may take several bone-related tests to evaluate improvement in your condition. You may also be prescribed vitamin D or calcium supplements along with CALCINASE NASAL SPRAY to improve your disease condition.
Before using CALCINASE NASAL SPRAY, inform your doctor if you have low blood calcium levels or any type of cancer as a precaution. Do not use CALCINASE NASAL SPRAY without consulting your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
The most common side effects of using CALCINASE NASAL SPRAY are nasal irritation, headache, back pain, and muscle pain. Consult your doctor if any of these side effects worsen.

HOW CALCINASE NASAL SPRAY WORKS
CALCINASE NASAL SPRAY stops the action of certain bone cells (such as osteoclasts) that destroy the bone mass. This action manages bone loss and helps build bone mass and density. As a result, it makes your bones stronger and reduces the risk of fracture.
