Overview Terifrac Injection

Forteo, a synthetic parathyroid hormone, treats severe osteoporosis and high fracture risk in men and postmenopausal women. Its mechanism involves stimulating bone growth, thereby increasing bone density and reducing spinal fracture likelihood. Administered subcutaneously or by a medical professional, Forteo requires consistent daily self-injection for optimal results. Treatment typically lasts up to two years, though your physician will determine the appropriate duration. Refrigerate between 2°C and 8°C. Common side effects include arthralgia, injection site inflammation (pain, swelling, redness), and leg spasms. Report persistent or bothersome side effects to your doctor. Disclose any kidney issues, including kidney stones, prior to commencing treatment, as hypercalcemia may occur. Pregnant or lactating individuals should seek medical counsel before use. Your doctor may order bone density scans to monitor treatment efficacy.
