Product Introduction

Tricium PTH Pen is a reusable injection device designed to deliver Teriparatide, a prescription medicine used to treat osteoporosis. This pen does not contain medicine; it is used with a Teriparatide cartridge (sold separately) to enable accurate and convenient self-administration. The typical dosing schedule is once daily via subcutaneous injection into the thigh or abdomen. The pen is designed for ease of use, enabling patients with osteoporosis to self-administer treatment at home following proper training from a healthcare provider.

Note: The pen is only a delivery device. The Teriparatide cartridge must be purchased and used with it.

How it works

The pen is designed to: Safely deliver the prescribed dose of Teriparatide Enable easy, self-administered injections once trained Minimize errors in dosing Once the cartridge is loaded and the needle is attached (as per instructions), the pen helps you inject the medicine quickly and painlessly under the skin.
