Calnasal Nasal Spray 6 ml

Calnasal Nasal Spray 6 ml is used in the treatment of Postmenopausal osteoporosis. The detailed uses of Calnasal Nasal Spray 6 ml are as follows:

• Treat postmenopausal osteoporosis: Calnasal Nasal Spray 6 ml helps slow bone loss and increase bone density in women who are at least five years past menopause. It reduces the risk of vertebral fractures by mimicking the natural hormone calcitonin, which regulates calcium levels and inhibits bone breakdown.
• Manage bone pain in Paget’s disease: Calnasal Nasal Spray 6 ml alleviates bone discomfort associated with abnormal bone remodeling in Paget’s disease by suppressing osteoclast activity and stabilizing bone turnover.

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.

• Wipe the nozzle with a clean tissue and replace the cap after each use.

• Consume calcium-rich foods like milk, yoghurt, cheese, green leafy vegetables, fish with bones such as salmon, sardines, calcium-fortified cereals and orange juice.
• Exposure to sunlight helps synthesise vitamin D, which is essential for strong bones and muscles.
• Eating vitamin-D-rich foods such as egg yolks, salmon, oily fish like sardines, and mackerel.
• Indulging in regular exercise to prevent bone loss. Activities include brisk walking, dancing, jogging, and strength training exercises like lifting weights and using weight machines or elastic bands.
• Engaging in activities for stress relief, such as meditation and yoga.
• Preserving a healthy weight eases pressure on the bones.
