Product Overview
About Zandoriah
Zandoriah is a solution for injection in pre-filled pens.
What it is used for
Osteoporosis happens when there is not enough new bone growth to replace the bone that is naturally broken down. Gradually, the bones become less dense and more likely to break. In women, osteoporosis is more common after the menopause, when the levels of the female hormone oestrogen fall. Osteoporosis can also occur as a side effect of glucocorticoid treatment in men and women.
How it is used
Zandoriah can only be obtained with a prescription. It is given once daily as an injection under the skin of the thigh or belly. Patients may inject themselves once they have been appropriately trained. Patients should take calcium and vitamin D supplements if they do not get enough from their diet. Zandoriah can be used for up to two years. The two-year course should be given only once during a patient’s lifetime.
How it works
The active substance in Zandoriah, teriparatide, is identical to part of the human parathyroid hormone. It acts like the hormone to stimulate bone formation by acting on osteoblasts (bone-forming cells). It also increases the absorption of calcium from food and prevents too much calcium being lost in the urine.
