Calcispray Nasal Spray


Product introduction

Calcispray 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.

Calcispray Nasal Spray is used to treat high levels of calcium in blood and also diseases causing the bones to get weak and breakable

Uses of Calcispray Nasal Spray

Benefits of Calcispray Nasal Spray

In Post menopausal osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a common condition that weakens bones, making them fragile and more likely to break. It often occurs in women after menopause. This condition can be treated with bone-strengthening medicines. Calcispray Nasal Spray slows down the rate at which bone is broken down in your body. This maintains bone density and reduces your risk of breaking a bone. Use it as advised by the doctor and follow your doctor’s instructions carefully.

In Paget's disease

Paget’s disease is a condition that disrupts the replacement of old bone tissue with new bone tissue. Calcispray Nasal Spray decreases the bone degeneration and helps in regeneration of healthy bone tissue. You can help improve the strength of your bones by doing regular exercise (especially weight-bearing exercise), eating healthy foods containing calcium and Vitamin D and reducing your consumption of alcohol and tobacco. Supplements of calcium and Vitamin D3 are also effective.

Side effects of Calcispray Nasal Spray

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

Common side effects of Calcispray

  • Runny nose
  • Nosebleeds
  • Nasal irritation
  • Back pain
  • Joint pain
  • Headache

How to use Calcispray Nasal Spray

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.

How Calcispray Nasal Spray works

Calcispray 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.

FAQs

Does Calcispray Nasal Spray need to be refrigerated?

Yes, an unopened bottle of Calcispray Nasal Spray need to be refrigerated. It should be kept at a temperature between 2°C and 8°C. Do not freeze. After opening the bottle of Calcispray Nasal Spray, store it at room temperature between 15°C and 30°C.

Does Calcispray Nasal Spray increase bone density?

Calcispray Nasal Spray contains calcitonin which is a hormone that is naturally produced by the thyroid gland and is responsible for maintaining calcium balance in the body. Calcispray Nasal Spray decreases the bone loss and damage in patients with osteoporosis. In some cases, it also helps in bone formation by activating the bone forming cells, thereby increasing the bone density.

Can Calcispray Nasal Spray reduce the calcium levels in blood?

Yes, Calcispray Nasal Spray can reduce the levels of calcium in the blood. If the calcium levels in your blood drop down severely then it can present with numbness or tingling in your fingers, toes, or around your mouth. The blood calcium levels need to be monitored in such cases. Immediately contact your doctor if you experience any such symptoms.

How should I use Calcispray Nasal Spray?

Follow the directions given by your prescriber and do ask him in case of any doubts. Usually, it is to be given in single nostril once daily. To start with we take 1 spray in left nostril on day 1, followed by right nostril on the second day. Continue to take the medicine inside the nose by switching nostrils every alternate day. Each bottle is set to deliver 30 doses. Do not use the bottle after 30 days.

Is it fine to use Calcispray Nasal Spray in pregnant women?

Generally, Calcispray Nasal Spray is not recommended for pregnant women.
