Does Gemcal Nasal Spray have any side effects?
Patient: Hello Doctor, i am a 24 year old Male. i had met with an accident couple of months ago, and had a severe fracture, my right hand radius and alna bone had broken. after the surgery my doctor told me to take GEMCAL NASAL SPRAY, my question is does it have any side effect with my fracture.?? Doctor: Hi,It does not have any side effects involving the fractures. Gemcal nasal spray (Calcitonin) is commonly prescribed to treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and also in elderly men to make the bones stronger and lower the risk of fractures. Its common side effects include nasal congestion, rhinitis, diarrhea, and flushing. It is not known to have any harmful effects on the fractured bones.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
