Uses of Uptonin Nasal Spray
Directions for Use
Medicinal Benefits
Uptonin Nasal Spray 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. Uptonin Nasal Spray 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. Uptonin Nasal Spray lessens the amount of calcium in the blood by preventing the breakdown of bone. Thereby, Uptonin Nasal Spray strengthens the bones and minimizes the risk of fractures. Uptonin Nasal Spray also seems to decrease the amount of calcium the kidneys can re-absorb, lowering calcium levels further.

Uptonin Nasal Spray is used to treat Postmenopausal osteoporosis.
Uptonin Nasal Spray contains Calcitonin, a human hormone that prevents bone breakdown and increases bone density (thickness).
If you have osteoporosis, avoid smoking, or try to quit. Tobacco use disrupts the mechanisms of bone turnover, resulting in reduced bone mass and bone mineral density (BMD), making bones prone to osteoporosis.
Uptonin Nasal Spray contains Calcitonin, a hormone that regulates the calcium level in the blood. This hormone helps in bone formation and also helps the body to reverse bone loss. Due to this, the number of cells that damages bones become comparatively less; hence the bone damage is halted. Using Uptonin Nasal Spray can increase bone formation by activation of the bone-forming cells.
Persons whose age is more than 45 years have low estrogen levels, females reaching menopause, too much consumption of alcohol, tobacco or caffeine, use of glucocorticoids and lack of calcium and vitamin D in foods are some of the factors that can increase the risk of osteoporosis.
Yes, Uptonin Nasal Spray is used together with calcium and vitamin D to treat bone loss in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis who have been postmenopausal for at least five years. Uptonin Nasal Spray inhibits the function of osteoclasts (bone breakdown), reducing bone resorption; thus, combining calcium and calcitonin could result in a positive bone balance.
Store the unopened bottle in the refrigerator between 2°C- 8°C until ready to use, protect it from freezing. Uptonin Nasal Spray in use can be stored at room temperature between 15°C- 30°C for 35 days in an upright position. Keep it out of reach from children.
