How it works
Osteoporosis happens when not enough new bone grows to replace the bone that is naturally broken down. The active substance in Terrosa, 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.
