Medicinal Benefits

Calcisome 200 Nasal Spray 30 md contains Calcitonin, a calcitonin receptor agonist that prevents the loss of bones that happens after menopause and helps to rebuild bones. Calcitonin is a hormone that the C-cells in the thyroid gland produce and release. It opposes the parathyroid hormone's action, helping regulate the blood’s calcium and phosphate levels. Calcisome 200 Nasal Spray 30 md works by suppressing the activity of the osteoclasts (cells that break down bone). When the osteoclasts break down bone tissue, the calcium enters the bloodstream. Calcisome 200 Nasal Spray 30 md lessens the amount of calcium in the blood by preventing the breakdown of bone. Thereby, Calcisome 200 Nasal Spray 30 md strengthens the bones and minimizes the risk of fractures. Calcisome 200 Nasal Spray 30 md also seems to decrease the amount of calcium the kidneys can re-absorb, lowering calcium levels further.
