Hello Sanjoe,
Sorry to hear that you are experiencing so many difficulties with your medication. I have pulled up some information for you. According to the National Institute of Health these are the following adverse reactions associated with taking Calcitonin-Salmon nasal spray. All information listed is in reference to the Apotex Corp generic (NDC: 60505-0823)
- Back Pain
- Headache
- Nasal Crusts
- Dryness
- Redness Or Erythema
- Nasal Sores
- Irritation
- Itching
- Thick Feeling
- Soreness
- Pallor
- Infection
- Stenosis
- Runny/blocked
- Small Wound
- Bleeding Wound
- Tenderness
- Uncomfortable Feeling And Sore Across Bridge Of Nose
- Rhinitis
-symptom Of Nose
- Arthralgia
- Epistaxis
It looks like two of your symptoms could be caused by the medication but it does not list anywhere that Calcitonin can make you more susceptible to sinus infections. If you feel the symptoms are severe enough to warrant potentially swapping to a new medication please contact your primary care doctor so that you can find a more suitable medication. If you would like any additional data please let me know what specific generic/brand of Calcitonin you are taking so that I can provide you with the details. Have a wonderful day.
