Forteo® (teriparatide injection)
for Osteoporosis
Forteo (teriparatide injection) is a man-made form of parathyroid hormone that increases bone mineral density and strength, helping to prevent fractures. It is used to treat osteoporosis caused by menopause, steroid use, or gonadal failure. Forteo promotes the growth of new bone, unlike other osteoporosis medications that work by inhibiting bone resorption or breakdown.
