What is Miacalcic Nasal Spray used for?

Treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis in women (usually >5 years after menopause) to reduce bone loss; may be used in Paget’s disease of bone when other treatments are not suitable; may be used for hypercalcaemia of malignancy (typically injectable form—use as per physician advice).

How Miacalcic Nasal Spray Works

Salmon calcitonin is a hormone that lowers blood calcium and inhibits osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. It helps slow bone breakdown and can modestly improve bone mineral density and reduce vertebral fracture risk in some patients.

Dosage & Directions

Use only in the nose as prescribed. Prime the pump before first use as per pack insert. Usually 1 spray (200 IU) once daily, alternating nostrils each day; use at the same time daily. Avoid blowing nose immediately after dosing; if you miss a dose, take the next dose as scheduled.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
