For postmenopausal osteoporosis

Bone health support with a flexible twist

Fortical® Nasal Spray adds flexibility so that you can more easily tailor treatment to the individual needs of your patients.


We have designed our website to supplement this flexibility by providing information and support for you and your patients. As the site grows, we intend to add more resources, such as patient education materials for download and additional clinical information.


IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Indicated for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis in women greater than 5 years postmenopause with low bone mass relative to healthy premenopausal women. Recommended in conjunction with adequate calcium and vitamin D intake. The most common adverse events were rhinitis, other nasal symptoms, back pain, arthralgia, epistaxis, and headache. Periodic nasal examinations are recommended; if nasal ulceration occurs, discontinue treatment until healed. Because calcitonin-salmon is a protein, the possibility of systemic allergic reaction exists. Please refer to full prescribing information.
