Uses of Kalnase Nasal Spray
- Post menopausal osteoporosis
- Paget's disease
Benefits of Kalnase Nasal Spray
In Post menopausal osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a common condition that weakens bones, making them fragile and more likely to break. It often occurs in women after menopause. This condition can be treated with bone-strengthening medicines. Kalnase Nasal Spray slows down the rate at which bone is broken down in your body. This maintains bone density and reduces your risk of breaking a bone. Use it as advised by the doctor and follow your doctor’s instructions carefully.
In Paget's disease
Paget’s disease is a condition that disrupts the replacement of old bone tissue with new bone tissue. Kalnase Nasal Spray decreases the bone degeneration and helps in regeneration of healthy bone tissue. You can help improve the strength of your bones by doing regular exercise (especially weight-bearing exercise), eating healthy foods containing calcium and Vitamin D and reducing your consumption of alcohol and tobacco. Supplements of calcium and Vitamin D3 are also effective.
Side effects of Kalnase Nasal Spray
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
Common side effects of Kalnase
- Runny nose
- Nosebleeds
- Nasal irritation
- Back pain
- Joint pain
- Headache
How to use Kalnase Nasal Spray
Use this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Insert the bottle tip into one nostril and close the other nostril. Direct the spray towards the sides of your nostril, away from the cartilage dividing the two sides of your nose. As you spray, breath gently and keep the head upright. Repeat the same process for the other nostrils.
How Kalnase Nasal Spray works
Kalnase Nasal Spray is a calcitonin receptor agonist. It acts by suppressing the activity of osteoclasts, cells that cause destruction of bone, thereby strengthening the bones and minimizing the risk of fractures.

FAQs
Q. Does Kalnase Nasal Spray need to be refrigerated?
Yes, an unopened bottle of Kalnase Nasal Spray need to be refrigerated. It should be kept at a temperature between 2°C and 8°C. Do not freeze. After opening the bottle of Kalnase Nasal Spray, store it at room temperature between 15°C and 30°C.
Q. Does Kalnase Nasal Spray increase bone density?
Kalnase Nasal Spray contains calcitonin which is a hormone that is naturally produced by the thyroid gland and is responsible for maintaining calcium balance in the body. Kalnase Nasal Spray decreases the bone loss and damage in patients with osteoporosis. In some cases, it also helps in bone formation by activating the bone forming cells, thereby increasing the bone density.
Q. Can Kalnase Nasal Spray reduce the calcium levels in blood?
Yes, Kalnase Nasal Spray can reduce the levels of calcium in the blood. If the calcium levels in your blood drop down severely then it can present with numbness or tingling in your fingers, toes, or around your mouth. The blood calcium levels need to be monitored in such cases. Immediately contact your doctor if you experience any such symptoms.
Q. How should I use Kalnase Nasal Spray?
Follow the directions given by your prescriber and do ask him in case of any doubts. Usually, it is to be given in single nostril once daily. To start with we take 1 spray in left nostril on day 1, followed by right nostril on the second day. Continue to take the medicine inside the nose by switching nostrils every alternate day. Each bottle is set to deliver 30 doses. Do not use the bottle after 30 days.
Q. Is it fine to use Kalnase Nasal Spray in pregnant women?
Generally, Kalnase Nasal Spray is not recommended for pregnant women. However, enough evidence is not available to suggest risk associated with the use of Kalnase Nasal Spray causing birth defects or miscarriage in pregnant women. Kalnase Nasal Spray should be used in pregnant women with utmost caution. It is used only if the prescribing doctor finds potential benefit to be much larger than the risk involved.
