Ostospray Nasal Solution 3.7ml

Ostospray Nasal Spray has several important uses:

• Management of postmenopausal osteoporosis in women who are more than 5 years past menopause.

• Useful for those with low bone mass compared to healthy premenopausal women.

• An alternative for patients who cannot tolerate or have contraindications to estrogen therapy.

• Assists in slowing progressive bone loss when taken along with adequate calcium and vitamin D.

Here's how you should use Ostospray Nasal Spray:

• Administer one spray per day, directly into your nostril, alternating nostrils daily.

• Before first use, prime the pump by depressing the two white side arms until a full spray is released.

• Keep track of the number of doses used as spray delivery may be inconsistent after 30 doses, even if the bottle is not empty.

• Always consult your doctor for specific advice regarding the usage of this medicine.

Ostospray Nasal Spray is administered intranasally.

Ostospray Nasal Spray contains two active ingredients:

• Calcitonins (2200 IU): As a synthetic polypeptide hormone, calcitonin works predominantly on your bones by inhibiting the bone resorption process carried out by cells called osteoclasts. By doing so, it leads to a significant short-term decrease in bone resorption and with continued use, it consistently reduces the rate of bone loss.

• Benzalkonium Chloride Solution (0.02%): This component acts as a preservative in the nasal spray formulation, helping keep the solution sterile and safe for use over time. It doesn't contribute directly towards managing osteoporosis but ensures that the medicine remains effective and free from contamination during its shelf-life.

• Store Ostospray Nasal Spray in the fridge, between 2-8°C before opening.

• After opening, keep it at room temperature, between 15-30°C.

• Ensure the bottle is always upright.

• Shield it from freezing and direct sunlight.

• Keep it out of reach of children.

• To support the effect of Ostospray Nasal Spray, ensure you have a diet rich in calcium. Include dairy products, green leafy vegetables, and fortified foods in your meals.

• Regular, weight-bearing exercise like walking or climbing stairs helps maintain bone strength. This complements the function of Ostospray Nasal Spray in managing osteoporosis. Remember to consult your doctor before starting a new exercise routine.
