Calcitonin Nasal Spray

Calcitonin Nasal Spray is a type of medicine that helps lower high blood calcium levels and is used to treat osteoporosis in women after menopause. Also, it can help treat problems caused by Paget’s disease. Hypercalcemia means that there is too much calcium in your blood. Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a health problem that makes bones weak and thin after menopause. It causes problems with how old bone is replaced by new bone. As a result, the new bone becomes oddly shaped, weak, and fragile.

Calcitonin Nasal Spray has Calcitonin in it. It lowers the action of osteoclasts, which are the cells that break down bones. When a bone breaks down, calcium from the bone goes into the blood. As a result, calcitonin stops osteoclasts from working, which reduces the amount of calcium that goes into the blood. It can also lower the amount of calcium taken back by the kidneys, leading to lower levels of calcium in the blood.
