  • Description

    Salcatonin, a synthetic form of the hormone calcitonin, exerts its mechanism of action by binding to specific calcitonin receptors on osteoclasts, which are cells responsible for bone resorption. Upon binding, it triggers a series of intracellular events that lead to the inhibition of osteoclast activity and function. This inhibition results in a reduction in bone resorption, thereby slowing down the breakdown of bone tissue. Salcatonin promotes the activity of osteoblasts, which are cells involved in bone formation, further contributing to its therapeutic effect in bone-related conditions. The net result is a shift in the balance of bone remodeling, favoring bone formation over resorption.

  • In case of Overdose

    In the case of an overdose of Salcatonin Spray, it is important to act swiftly. Firstly, discontinue the use of the spray and seek medical advice. Common symptoms of overdose may include flushing, nausea, and headache. If ingested, drink water and contact a healthcare professional immediately. Prompt action can help manage any adverse effects and ensure appropriate medical care is provided.

  • Missed Dose

    In the case of a missed dose of Salcatonin Spray, it is generally recommended to take the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, it is best to skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one, as this may increase the risk of side effects. If you frequently miss doses, consider setting reminders or using a medication tracker to help you stay on track with your treatment plan. It is important to maintain consistency in using the spray for optimal therapeutic benefits.

  • How To Use

    To use the Salcatonin Nasal Spray, gently blow your nose to clear any congestion, then tilt your head forward slightly, insert the nasal applicator into one nostril, and depress the pump while breathing in through your nose, ensuring the medication is administered into the nasal passages.

  • When Not to Use

    Following are the conditions/situations when Salcatonin Spray should not be used:

    • Should not be used in individuals with a known allergy or hypersensitivity to salmon calcitonin or any of the spray's components.
    • Not recommended for individuals with severe kidney disease or kidney failure.
    • Contraindicated in patients with a history of allergic reactions to salmon or other fish proteins.
    • Should not be used in children under 18 years of age, as its safety and efficacy have not been established in this age group.
    • Not suitable for individuals with a history of recent surgery or trauma, especially bone-related procedures.
    • Avoid using in patients with uncontrolled hypocalcemia (low calcium levels in the blood).
    • Do not use in patients with Paget's disease of the bone, as it may worsen the condition.

    • Nausea and vomiting
    • Headaches
    • Increased urination
    • Diarrhea
    • Abdominal pain or cramps
    • Fatigue and weakness
    • Skin flushing or redness
  • Precautions & Warnings

    Following are the precautions and warnings for Salcatonin Spray:

    • Do not use if you are allergic to salmon or any of the spray's ingredients.
    • Not recommended for individuals with a history of kidney disease, as it may affect kidney function.
    • Avoid spraying in the eyes or on broken skin; rinse thoroughly with water if contact occurs.
    • Exercise caution if you have a history of gastrointestinal disorders, as it may cause nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.
    • Do not exceed the recommended dosage; overuse may lead to increased calcium levels in the blood.
    • Consult a doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding before using this medication.
    • Keep out of reach of children and pets; accidental ingestion may be harmful.
  • Drug Interactions

    Following are the drug interactions for Salcatonin Spray:

    • Lithium and Salcatonin combination may lead to increased risk of lithium toxicity, close monitoring of lithium levels is recommended.
    • Salcatonin may reduce the effectiveness of bisphosphonates, a class of drugs used to treat osteoporosis, so a gap of at least 30 minutes should be maintained between the two medications.
    • Thiazide diuretics, when used with Salcatonin, might increase the risk of hypocalcemia, thus requiring regular calcium level monitoring.
    • Drugs that affect bone metabolism, such as strontium ranelate, should be used cautiously with Salcatonin as it may interfere with their action.
    • Anticonvulsants, like phenytoin, can reduce the effectiveness of Salcatonin, requiring close observation of therapeutic response.
    • Salcatonin may decrease the absorption of calcium supplements, hence maintaining a gap of 2 hours between the two is advised.
    • Certain antibiotics, such as tetracyclines, should be taken at least 2 hours before or after Salcatonin to prevent decreased absorption of the antibiotic.
  • Food Interactions

    Following are the food interactions for Salcatonin Spray:

    • Salcatonin absorption may be reduced by consuming high-protein meals, especially those containing fish, meat, and dairy products. It is best to use the spray at least 30 minutes before or 2 hours after meals.
    • Grapefruit juice should be avoided as it can interfere with the breakdown of Salcatonin, leading to increased levels in the body and potential side effects.
    • Alcohol consumption is not recommended, as it may reduce the effectiveness of Salcatonin and increase the risk of side effects such as nausea and dizziness.
    • Dairy products, particularly milk, can potentially decrease the absorption of Salcatonin. Consider separating milk intake from medication by at least 1-2 hours.
    • Soy-based foods and beverages might slightly reduce the absorption of Salcatonin. Ensure a 1-hour gap between soy consumption and medication.
    • Avoid spicy foods, as they can irritate the nasal passages and potentially reduce the effectiveness of the spray.
    • Caffeinated beverages like coffee and tea might interfere with calcium metabolism, which is crucial for the action of Salcatonin. Limit or avoid these drinks.
    • Certain types of fish, like salmon and sardines, contain high levels of vitamin D and calcium, which can interact with the effects of Salcatonin. Moderate your intake of these fish while using the spray.
  • Storage/Disposal

    Salcatonin Spray should be stored in a cool and dry place, preferably at room temperature, ensuring it is not exposed to direct sunlight or extreme heat. Keep the spray bottle tightly sealed in its original packaging to maintain its integrity and prevent contamination. Do not store it in humid areas like bathrooms or near sinks as moisture can affect the medication. Always check the expiration date, and if the spray is past its prime, do not flush it or pour it down the drain; instead, follow local guidelines or consult a pharmacist for safe disposal methods. Keep the medication away from children to prevent accidental use or ingestion.

  • Quick Tips, if any

    • Inhale deeply through your nose to ensure the medication reaches the desired area.
