What is Calcitonin Salmon, and how does it work?
Calcitonin Salmon is a generic prescription drug approved to treat osteoporosis in women who have been postmenopausal for five or more years. Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by bone loss, where the body removes calcium faster than it can be replaced, leading to porous, fragile bones that are prone to fractures. This bone loss is often linked to reduced estrogen levels after menopause. The medication works by binding to receptors on osteoclasts, the cells responsible for breaking down bone. This action stimulates increased bone formation. It is administered as a nasal spray, with the typical dosage being one daily spray, alternating nostrils each day.
