About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Zotide Injection contains Teriparatide 750 mcg, a recombinant form of parathyroid hormone used primarily in the treatment of osteoporosis. Teriparatide acts by stimulating new bone formation, increasing bone mineral density, and improving bone strength, thereby reducing the risk of fractures in patients with severe osteoporosis or those at high risk of fracture. It is indicated for postmenopausal women, men with osteoporosis, and individuals with glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis who have a history of fractures or are at significant risk. Administered via subcutaneous injection, Zotide Injection is typically prescribed as a daily dose, with treatment duration generally limited to 24 months due to safety considerations. Common adverse effects may include nausea, dizziness, leg cramps, and injection site reactions. It is contraindicated in patients with hypercalcemia, bone malignancies, or metabolic bone diseases other than osteoporosis. Careful monitoring of serum calcium levels is recommended during therapy. Zotide Injection should be used under strict medical supervision, with consideration of patient-specific risk factors and concurrent medications. This therapy offers a valuable option for patients requiring anabolic treatment to restore bone mass and reduce fracture incidence in osteoporosis management.

About Teriparatide
Teriparatide is an anabolic agent used in the treatment of osteoporosis in adults, particularly in postmenopausal women and individuals at high risk of fractures. By stimulating bone formation and increasing bone mineral density, teriparatide helps strengthen bones and reduce the risk of fractures, especially in the spine and hip. This medication is particularly relevant for patients with glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis and those with a history of fractures. In summary, teriparatide is a critical therapy for enhancing bone strength and preventing osteoporosis-related fractures.
How It Works
Teriparatide acts as a parathyroid hormone analog, stimulating osteoblast activity and increasing calcium absorption in the intestines while decreasing renal calcium excretion, leading to enhanced bone formation.
