Hi,

It does not have any side effects involving the fractures. Gemcal nasal spray (Calcitonin) is commonly prescribed to treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and also in elderly men to make the bones stronger and lower the risk of fractures. Its common side effects include nasal congestion, rhinitis, diarrhea, and flushing. It is not known to have any harmful effects on the fractured bones.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
