Benefits Of CALCISPRAY NASAL SPRAY
The therapeutic effect of Calcispray Nasal Spray lies in its ability to regulate calcium levels in the body. As a hormone medication, this medication helps to reduce bone resorption and inhibits the release of calcium from bones, leading to decreased blood calcium levels. This effect is particularly beneficial in treating conditions such as osteoporosis, where it can slow down bone loss and potentially reduce the risk of fractures. This medicine also finds application in managing Paget's disease of bone, where it helps control abnormal bone remodelling and alleviates associated symptoms. Moreover, in emergency cases of hypercalcemia, this medication rapidly lowers blood calcium levels, relieving severe symptoms and preventing complications.
