Product Overview
About Teriparatide Sun
Teriparatide Sun is a medicine available as a pre-filled pen.
What it is used for
Bones are made of a tissue that is constantly being broken down and replaced. Osteoporosis happens when the amount of new bone forming is not enough to replace the bone that is broken down. In people with osteoporosis, bones become thin and fragile and are more likely to break.
How it is used
Teriparatide Sun can only be obtained with a prescription. The recommended dose is 20 micrograms given once a day as an injection under the skin of the thigh or abdomen (tummy). The medicine can be used for up to two years. Only one two-year course of Teriparatide Sun should be given to a patient in their lifetime. Patients should receive calcium and vitamin D supplements if they cannot get the recommended amounts from their diet.
How it works
The active substance in Teriparatide Sun, teriparatide, is identical to part of the human parathyroid hormone. It acts like this hormone to increase bone formation by stimulating osteoblasts (bone forming cells), to increase the absorption of calcium from food and to help prevent too much calcium being lost in the urine.
