Product Introduction

Tricium PTH TP6 Injection contains teriparatide as its active component. Teriparatide is a synthetic form of parathyroid hormone (PTH), which is naturally produced by the parathyroid glands, and is used in the treatment of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a condition characterised by weakened bones that increases the risk of fractures. Fractures resulting from osteoporosis can significantly impact quality of life, causing pain and limiting mobility. Tricium PTH TP6 Injection works by stimulating the formation of new bone tissue and increasing bone mineral density. This medication has demonstrated effectiveness in accelerating bone healing in patients with fractures. It promotes callus formation—the initial bone bridge that develops during the healing process—resulting in faster and more efficient recovery. Patients with known hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to teriparatide or any component of Tricium PTH TP6 Injection should not use this medication. Use is contraindicated in patients with a history of skeletal malignancies such as osteosarcoma, or in those with bone metastases. Prior radiation therapy to the skeletal system is a contraindication to this medication due to the potential risk of osteosarcoma development.

Uses

Postmenopausal osteoporosis Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis

How it works

Tricium PTH TP6 Injection exerts a therapeutic effect by stimulating the formation of new bone tissue and increasing bone mineral density. By activating osteoblasts, the cells responsible for bone formation, bone strength is enhanced, fracture risk is reduced, and bone healing is promoted. It offers significant benefits such as increased bone density, fracture risk reduction, and improved quality of life, and it serves as an alternative for individuals who have not responded well to other osteoporosis treatments.

Side Effects

This can cause some side effects like all medications, although not everyone will experience them. Serious: Hypercalcemia Allergic reactions that affect the skin and breathing Skin reactions at the injection site include rashes, bruising, swelling, and itching Osteosarcoma (a type of bone cancer) Hypercalcemia (increased level of calcium) Orthostatic hypotension (hypertension when standing after sitting or lying position) Common: Arthralgia Nerve Pain Nausea Sickness Headache Dizziness Increased sweating Breathlessness Muscle cramps Increase in blood cholesterol levels Chest pain Burning sensation below the breast bone Anaemia
