Introduction

Calsalm Nasal Spray is a medicine used for the treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. It makes the bones stronger and lowers the risk of fractures. It may also be used for bone pain associated with Paget's disease.

Use this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Insert the bottle tip into one nostril and close the other nostril. Direct the spray towards the sides of your nostril away from the cartilage dividing the two sides of your nose. As you spray, breath gently and keep the head upright. Repeat the same process for the other nostrils.

Calsalm Nasal Spray is a calcitonin receptor agonist. It acts by suppressing the activity of osteoclasts cells that cause destruction of bone, thereby strengthening the bones and minimizing the risk of fractures.
