Question 4

which describes the medical use of calcitonin?

Accepted Answer

It's for bones.: Calcitonin is a hormone in our bodies which helps regulate calcium levels.  It is producd in c-cells (appropriately enough!), which are scattered througout the thyroid gland.  Calcitonin is useful in the treatment of osteporosis, particularly after a vertebral fracture, which can be quite painful.  Nasally-inhaled calcitonin has pain-reducing properties which can be a big help with pain control.

Question 5

is calcitonin nasal spray a anahistamen?

Accepted Answer

No: Astepro, patanase, asteline are antihistamine nasal sprays

Question 6

how is calcitonin found in the thyroid gland?

Accepted Answer

Adjacent: Parafollicular cells manufacture calcitonin. They are adjacent to follicular cells and not actually part of the thyroid gland. Parathyroid glands are also located on the thyroid gland but aren't part of the thyroid. Parathyroid hormone and calcitonin help regulate calcium balance in the body.

Question 7

does thyroid gland produce more th or calcitonin?

Accepted Answer

Thyroid/parathyroid: The thyroid glands themselves produce the thyroid hormone (t4). There are two small glands just at the tip of each wing or ala actually separate glands but look like part of the thyroids called parathyroid and they produce the parathyroid hormones. Look at your anatomy book and you'll see them.

Question 8

is there calcitonin hormone deficiency after a total thyroidectomy?

Accepted Answer

Not a problem: There is no known health problem associated with lower calcitonin after thyroidectomy.

Question 9

i broke my radius which did not form a soft callus after 8 weeks. i had a bone grafy three weeks ago. could i benefit from calcitonin injections?

Accepted Answer

No: Unless you have calcium deficiency, giving calcium will not help. Even if you were deficient, oral calcium would be just as effective as that given by injection.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 10

what if given with calcitonin and increases the effectiveness?

Accepted Answer

Nothing: There is nothing which specifically increases the effectiveness of calcitonin.  A second osteopororsis drug would add  to the effect but not increases th effect of calcitonin.
