Prescription RequiredAbout Calnasal Nasal Spray 6 ml
Calnasal Nasal Spray 6 ml belongs to groups of medications called hypocalcemic agents, primarily indicated for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis in women more than five years postmenopause when alternative therapies are unsuitable. Post-menopausal osteoporosis is a medical condition that causes thinning and weakening of the bones during/after a menopausal period.
Calnasal Nasal Spray 6 ml contains Calcitonin, a human hormone that prevents bone breakdown and increases bone density (thickness). Thus it helps to treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.
Use Calnasal Nasal Spray 6 ml as prescribed by the doctor. Calnasal Nasal Spray 6 ml may cause certain side effects such as hypocalcemia, runny nose, nosebleed, sinus pain, application site reactions such as rhinitis (stuffy nose), epistaxis (nose bleeds) and other nasal symptoms, back pain, arthralgia (Joint pain) and headache. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.
Calnasal Nasal Spray 6 ml is for intranasal use only, do not inject or take it orally. Before using Calnasal Nasal Spray 6 ml, inform your doctor of all your medical conditions, sensitivities, and all medications you are using. Calnasal Nasal Spray 6 ml is intended for post-menopausal women; therefore, Calnasal Nasal Spray 6 ml should not be recommended for other populations. Avoid drinking alcohol because it affects how the body absorbs calcium and vitamin D, which are essential for good bone formation.
Uses of Calnasal Nasal Spray 6 ml
Postmenopausal osteoporosis
Medicinal Benefits
Calnasal Nasal Spray 6 ml contains Calcitonin, a calcitonin receptor agonist that prevents the loss of bones that happens after menopause and helps to rebuild bones. Calcitonin is a hormone that the C-cells in the thyroid gland produce and release. It opposes the parathyroid hormone's action, helping regulate the blood’s calcium and phosphate levels. Calnasal Nasal Spray 6 ml works by suppressing the activity of the osteoclasts (cells that break down bone). When the osteoclasts break down bone tissue, the calcium enters the bloodstream. Calnasal Nasal Spray 6 ml lessens the amount of calcium in the blood by preventing the breakdown of bone. Thereby, Calnasal Nasal Spray 6 ml strengthens the bones and minimizes the risk of fractures. Calnasal Nasal Spray 6 ml also seems to decrease the amount of calcium the kidneys can re-absorb, lowering calcium levels further.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Postmenopausal osteoporosis: Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a medical disorder that causes bone loss and weakness during and after menopause. Estrogen insufficiency increases the risk of developing osteoporosis (weak bones). The decline in oestrogen during the menopause era (45 years of age) causes more bone resorption (osteoclasts; bone disintegration) than creation (osteoblasts; new bone development), leading to osteoporosis. Osteoporosis has no symptoms in the early stages. Yet, if sufficient care is not given, it might result in shattered bones. The bones do not pain at first, and breaks in the spine's bones may go unnoticed until they cause height reduction. Bones with osteoporosis might shatter at any time, even during normal tasks such as lifting or small activities.
