Indroduction and Uses of Calcitonin Salmon

Calcitonin Salmon (pronounced ka pe sight a been) is chemotherapy that is given as a treatment for some types of cancer, including advanced bowel cancer or breast cancer. Calcitonin Salmon prevents cells from making DNA and RNA by interfering with the synthesis of nucleic acids, thus stopping the growth of cancer cells.

Calcitonin salmon injection is used to treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. Osteoporosis is a disease that causes bones to weaken and break more easily. Calcitonin salmon injection is also used to treat Paget's disease of bone and to quickly reduce calcium levels in the blood when needed. Calcitonin is a human hormone that is also found in salmon. It works by preventing bone breakdown and increasing bone density (thickness). Calcitonin salmon injection is also used sometimes to treat osteogenesis imperfecta.
