rajasahniIt is a drug that needs to be injected daily and is used for persons with advanced osteoporosis. I am particularly curious about the side effects and related issues that may arise from prolonged usage.
Has anyone had any experience with Terifrac which is marketed by Intas Biopharma in India?

Teriparatide is a man-made form of a hormone called parathyroid that exists naturally in the body. Teriparatide increases bone density and increases bone strength to help prevent fractures.
Teriparatide is used to treat osteoporosis in men and women who have a high risk of bone fracture.
Teriparatide may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Teriparatide side effects: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. Stop using teriparatide and call the doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:
feeling light-headed or fainting every time you inject this medicine; fast or pounding heartbeats every time you inject this medicine; or nausea, vomiting, constipation, and muscle weakness.

Mary, thanks it was telepathy indeed, after a few seconds of your answering the question I posted my answer, the med is available in the US too!
Take care, & have a nice day!
Hey all, please keep me posted on this drug! I wasn't treated for years for osteoporosis because of my insurance nightmare! I am only 58 and I never slowed down, now I can hardly get around. I'm not having very many good days! My 4 year old granddaughter lives 6 hours from me and begs me to move back to my hotel so we can see each other. It breaks my heart not to be with her! She lights up the world and if this medication could have me up and going again I would pay whatever the cost! My doctor is afraid for me to do anything because he thinks one wrong step and I could break my back and I would be paralyzed, he wouldn't let me turn over on the table, then he didn't mention it again for a while and in-between the same people had me turning every way possible.

When I asked why they scared me so bad on my last visit and now are turning me like nothing is wrong at all I was confused! They have way too many patients, 4 nurse practioners, 1 doctor! I have never met the doctor in his office. I have seen him a few times in 4 years after I was turned, face to the wall in a very small room, while he gave me the injection in my hip joint! I wouldn't know him at all. Regular visits for 4 years. Reclast injections once a year with little improvement. I would love to enjoy my senior years I've worked so hard for!
Please add me to your friend's so I can keep up with this! Thanks all, Niki
