Calcitonin is a polypeptide hormone secreted by the parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland in mammals and by the ultimobranchial gland of birds and fish. Calcitonin Salmon Nasal Solution is a synthetic polypeptide of 32 amino acids in the same linear sequence that is found in calcitonin of salmon origin. This is shown by the following graphic formula: It is provided in a 3.7 mL fill glass bottle as a solution for nasal administration. This is sufficient medication for 30 doses. Active Ingredient: calcitonin-salmon, 2200 International Units per mL (corresponding to 200 International Units per 0.09 mL actuation). Inactive Ingredients: sodium chloride, chlorobutanol (possesses a characteristic odor), hydrochloric acid (added as necessary to adjust pH), purified water and nitrogen. The activity of Calcitonin Salmon Nasal Solution is stated in International Units based on bioassay in comparison with the International Reference Preparation of calcitonin-salmon for Bioassay, distributed by the National Institute of Biological Standards and Control, Holly Hill, London. formula
