2 | Osteoporosis | I've been using a nasal spray for over five years. Broke a bone last year, had full body x-ray that showed no improvement in bone density. This after also taking calcium. Really disappointed.Don't know whether to try anything else. | F | 70 | 1X day | 9/10/2014 | 5 | osteoporosis | None at all. | I've taken both Fortical and the generic Calcitonin Salmon and have not experienced any side effects. The Fortical smelled a little pungent, but I got used to it. For some reason the generic doesn't have that smell. I am very relieved to find a medication that I can tolerate so well. Hopefully it will help with the bone loss. | F | 55 | 2 months 1X day | 11/29/2010 | 5 | osteoporosis | Absolutely none!!!!!! | One of the oldest and best meds for this condition.... | F | 76 | 4 months 1 spray 1X day | 9/2/2010 |
