Benefits of Ostospray Nasal Solution
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. Ostospray 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. Ostospray 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 Ostospray Nasal Solution
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 Ostospray
- Runny nose
- Nosebleeds
- Nasal irritation
- Back pain
- Joint pain
- Headache
How to use Ostospray Nasal Solution
Use it as advised by your doctor or check the label for directions before use.
How Ostospray Nasal Solution works
Ostospray 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
Does Ostospray need to be refrigerated?
Yes, an unopened bottle of Ostospray 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 Ostospray, store it at room temperature between 15°C and 30°C.
Does Ostospray increase bone density?
Ostospray contains calcitonin which is a hormone that is naturally produced by the thyroid gland and is responsible for maintaining calcium balance in the body. Ostospray 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.
Can Ostospray reduce the calcium levels in blood?
Yes, Ostospray 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.
How should I use Ostospray?
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.
Is it fine to use Ostospray in pregnant women?
Generally, Ostospray is not recommended for pregnant women. However, enough evidence is not available to suggest risk associated with the use of Ostospray causing birth defects or miscarriage in pregnant women. Ostospray 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.
