Calcitonin salmon is a lab made version of a hormone found in the thyroid gland. It slows the cells that break down bone tissue, helping preserve bone density over time.

Doctors usually limit treatment duration due to a possible cancer risk with prolonged use. Regular checkups and adequate calcium plus vitamin D intake support safer, more effective treatment.
