What dosages is teriparatide available in?
teriparatide is available as a 600 mcg/2.4 mL (250 mcg/mL) injection in a single-patient-use prefilled delivery device (pen) containing 28 daily doses of 20 mcg.

How does teriparatide work?
teriparatide is a parathyroid hormone (PTH) analog, meaning it works similarly to the PTH your body normally makes. PTH is a hormone that’s important in balancing bone breakdown and formation to keep your bones healthy. teriparatide works by promoting bone growth. This helps raise your bone mineral density (BMD), which is a measure of how strong your bones are. A higher BMD means your bones are stronger, which helps lower your risk of bone fractures.

teriparatide is dosed as 20 mcg injected once a day under the skin of your lower stomach or outer part of your thigh.
