Teriparatide

Teriparatide is a medication used to treat osteoporosis, a condition that weakens bones and makes them more prone to fractures. It is a synthetic form of parathyroid hormone, which helps stimulate bone growth. By promoting the activity of bone-building cells, teriparatide increases bone density and reduces the risk of breaks. The treatment is typically administered as a daily injection for a limited time. While effective in strengthening bones, it's usually prescribed for individuals at high risk of fractures or those who haven't responded well to other osteoporosis medications. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
