Salmon-derived calcitonin is a more potent form of the hormone calcitonin, used for the treatment of osteoporosis, Paget's disease, and hypercalcemia. It works by inhibiting bone resorption and regulating blood calcium levels.
The salmon-derived form is preferred due to its increased efficacy compared to human calcitonin. It is available as injections or nasal spray and is often used as an adjunct therapy.
Salmon calcitonin can reduce bone pain and improve the quality of life for patients with bone-related conditions. It is important that the treatment is administered under medical supervision to minimize risks.
Side effects include nausea, facial flushing, nasal irritation, or allergic reactions. Long-term use is limited due to the risk of cancer associated with prolonged treatment.
