Teriparatide Acetate powder
is a recombinant form of parathyroid hormone consisting of the first
(N-terminus) 34 amino acids, which is the bioactive portion of the
hormone. It is an effective anabolic(i.e., bone growing) agent used in
the treatment of some forms of osteoporosis. It is also occasionally
used off-label to speed fracture healing. Teriparatide is identical to a
portion of human parathyroid hormone (PTH) and intermittent use
activates osteoblasts more than osteoclasts, which leads to an overall
increase in bone.
Teriparatide is the only anabolic (i.e., bone
growing) agent indicated for use in postmenopausal women with
osteoporosis at a high risk for fracture or with a history of
osteoporotic fracture, patients with multiple risk factors for fracture,
and for patients who have failed or are intolerant to other available
osteoporosis therapy. It has been FDA-approved since 2002. It is
effective in growing bone (e.g., 8% increase in bone density in the
spine after one year)[6"> and reducing the risk of fragility
fractures. Osteoporosis medications are generally safe, but some side
effects of teriparatide include headache, nausea, dizziness, and limb
pain.
