Product Introduction

Teripro PTH 750mcg Injection contains the active component Teriparatide. Teriparatide is a synthetic form of parathyroid hormone (PTH), which is produced by the parathyroid glands, and is used to treat osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a condition characterised by weakened bones, which increases the risk of fractures. Fractures resulting from osteoporosis can significantly impact a patient's quality of life, causing pain and limiting mobility. Teripro PTH 750mcg Injection works by stimulating the formation of new bone tissue and increasing bone mineral density. This medication has been shown to accelerate bone healing in patients with fractures. It promotes callus formation, the initial bridge of new bone that develops during the healing process, resulting in faster and more efficient recovery. Patients with a known hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to Teripro PTH 750mcg Injection or any of its components should not use this medication. It is contraindicated in patients with a history of skeletal malignancies, such as osteosarcoma, or those with bone metastases. If a patient has received prior radiation therapy to the skeleton, use of this medication is not recommended due to the potential risk of osteosarcoma development.
