Teriparatide: What It Is, How It Is Taken, Side Effects

Its use is reserved for both female and male adult patients. Administered parenterally, the active principle is also used for the treatment of osteoporosis due to therapies with corticosteroid drugs.

Teriparatide is available in the form of a ready-to-use solution for injection in a pre-filled pen. Medicines containing it require a repeatable prescription (RR) to be dispensed; however, being classified as Tier A drugs, their cost can be reimbursed by the National Health System (SSN).
