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.
