Parathyroid hormone analogs

Parathyroid hormone analogs are synthetic versions of a hormone produced by the parathyroid glands, which help regulate calcium levels in the body. These analogs mimic the hormone's effects to treat conditions like osteoporosis, where bones become weak. By stimulating bone growth and increasing calcium levels in the blood, these medications can help strengthen bones and reduce the risk of fractures. They are often used when other treatments are ineffective, providing an important option for managing bone health in vulnerable populations.
