[An intranasal method of administration of calcitrin to steroid-dependent patients with bronchial asthma].

The efficacy of endonasal calcitrin was studied against that of intramuscular. The drug was given endonasally in a dose of 3 units twice a day during 1--1.5 months. The effect on the calcium-regulating system (total calcium, calcitonin, parathyroid hormone), external respiration, its analgetic action were similar to such of the intramuscular mode. Endonasal calcitrin is recommended for outpatient use.
