SKU GME1301Bone Health
Product Introduction
Teriparatide 750mcg/3mL (250mcg/mL) is an anabolic osteoporosis medicine for people at high risk of fracture. It stimulates new bone formation rather than only slowing bone loss.
How to use
Inject the metered 20mcg dose under the skin of the thigh or abdomen once daily using the pen device. Rotate injection sites. Use the first few doses where you can sit or lie down if dizziness occurs; never inject the full cartridge contents as a dose.
How it works
Intermittent exposure to a parathyroid-hormone fragment stimulates osteoblast activity and new bone formation.
Side effects
Nausea, leg cramps, dizziness, injection-site discomfort and temporary increases in blood calcium can occur.
Important information
High calcium, Paget’s disease, bone malignancy, skeletal radiation or unexplained raised alkaline phosphatase affect suitability. Treatment duration and subsequent bone-protective therapy form part of the osteoporosis plan.
Uses
- Osteoporosis in people at high risk of fracture.
Benefits
Increasing new bone formation can improve bone strength and reduce vertebral and other fracture risk in suitable high-risk patients.
Is it the same as denosumab or a bisphosphonate?
No. Teriparatide primarily stimulates formation of new bone, while those medicines mainly reduce bone resorption.
What should I do if I forget a daily teriparatide injection?
Use the missed dose when remembered on the same day. If that day has already passed, skip it and resume the usual daily schedule. Never inject more than one dose in a day.
Why might another osteoporosis medicine follow treatment?
An antiresorptive medicine can help retain bone gained during the anabolic treatment course.
Do I also need calcium or vitamin D during teriparatide treatment?
Adequate calcium and vitamin D support bone formation. Food and drink may supply enough, but a supplement can be needed when dietary intake is insufficient. High blood calcium or a kidney-stone history affects the amount suitable for you.
