What is calcitonin salmon, and how does it work to treat osteoporosis?
Calcitonin salmon is a generic prescription medication used to treat osteoporosis in women who have been postmenopausal for five or more years. Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by a loss of bone density, making bones porous, weak, and prone to fractures. This bone loss is often linked to decreased estrogen levels after menopause. The medication works by binding to receptors on bone cells called osteoclasts, which helps to regulate bone remodeling. It is administered as a daily nasal spray, with one spray alternated between nostrils each day.
