Benefits of Miacalcic 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. Miacalcic Nasal 200 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. Miacalcic Nasal 200 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.

How to use Miacalcic 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.

Repeat the same process for the other nostrils.
How Miacalcic Nasal Spray works

Miacalcic Nasal 200 contains calcitonin which is a hormone that is naturally produced by the thyroid gland and is responsible for maintaining calcium balance in the body. Miacalcic Nasal 200 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.

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.

Each bottle is set to deliver 30 doses. Do not use the bottle after 30 days.
Q. Is it fine to use Miacalcic Nasal 200 in pregnant women?
