Patients should receive calcium and vitamin D supplements if they do not get enough from their diet.
Movymia can be used for up to two years.
The two-year course of Movymia should be given only once during a patient’s lifetime.
The medicine can only be obtained with a prescription.
How it works
Osteoporosis happens when not enough new bone grows to replace the bone that is naturally broken down.
Gradually, the bones become less dense and more likely to break.
The active substance in Movymia, 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.
