Calcitonin Salmon Nasal Spray 200U is a medication used for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis, Paget’s disease of bone, and hypercalcemia (elevated levels of calcium in the blood). It is a synthetic version of the hormone calcitonin, which is naturally produced by the thyroid gland. This medication works by slowing the breakdown of bones in the body and increasing bone density, which helps to prevent fractures and bone pain. It is administered as a nasal spray and is absorbed into the body through the nose. Calcitonin Salmon Nasal Spray 200U may also have some analgesic (pain-relieving) properties.

What is Postmenopausal Osteoporosis?

Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a condition characterized by a decrease in bone density and strength that occurs after menopause in women. This is due to the decline in estrogen levels, which plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy bones. As a result, postmenopausal women are at a higher risk for fractures, particularly in the hips, spine, and wrists. Treatment for postmenopausal osteoporosis typically involves lifestyle changes, such as a healthy diet and exercise, as well as medications to improve bone density and reduce the risk of fractures.
