Yes, an unopened bottle of Osteonin Nasal Solution should be refrigerated at a temperature between 2°C and 8°C. Do not freeze. After opening, store it at room temperature between 15°C and 30°C.
Does Osteonin Nasal Solution increase bone density?
Osteonin Nasal Solution contains calcitonin, a hormone that helps maintain calcium balance in the body. It decreases bone loss and damage in patients with osteoporosis, and in some cases, it can also stimulate bone formation by activating bone-forming cells, thereby increasing bone density.

It is essential to monitor blood calcium levels in such cases. If you experience any symptoms, contact your doctor immediately.

Do not use the bottle after 30 days.
Is it safe to use Osteonin Nasal Solution during pregnancy?
Osteonin Nasal Solution is generally not recommended for pregnant women. While there is limited evidence to suggest a risk of birth defects or miscarriage, it should be used with caution.
