  5. I'm trying to understand the potential risks of using Gemitrol Nasal Spray. My doctor prescribed it after diagnosing me with a fracture in my L1 vertebra and osteoporosis. But I read online that Calcitonin salmon, which is in the spray, might be linked to an increased risk of cancer. Should I be worried about this? Are there safer alternatives available? And how long is it safe to keep using this medication? I'm honestly a bit concerned and would appreciate any advice you can give.
