Salmocal Nasal 200iu Spray

Salmocal Nasal 200iu Spray is a spray made by S.J. & G. Fazul Ellahie that contains Calcitonin 200iu, a hormone medicine that lowers blood calcium. It is used for high calcium and Paget's disease. Pack size: 1s spray.

Uses of Salmocal Nasal 200iu Spray

Salmocal Nasal 200iu Spray (salmon calcitonin) is given by injection to lower dangerously high blood calcium, for example in some cancers. It is also used for Paget’s disease of bone when other treatments are unsuitable, and to prevent rapid bone loss after sudden immobilisation, such as after a fracture. It is used only for short periods.

How Salmocal Nasal 200iu Spray works

Calcitonin is a man-made version of a natural hormone. It slows the cells that break down bone, so less calcium is released into the blood, and it increases the amount of calcium the kidneys remove in the urine.

Possible side effects

Side effects of Salmocal Nasal 200iu Spray are fairly common, especially at the start. They include:

• Nausea or vomiting
• Flushing of the face
• Dizziness
• Headache
• Changes in taste
• Redness at the injection site

Get medical help straight away if you have signs of an allergic reaction, such as swelling of the face or throat, difficulty breathing or a severe rash, or muscle cramps and tingling that may signal low calcium.

Precautions and warnings

• Long-term use has been linked to a small increase in cancer risk, so it is used only for short periods.
• Tell your doctor if you have had allergic reactions to proteins or medicines; a skin test may be done first.
• Your blood calcium levels will be checked during treatment.
• It is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
