Treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and men at high risk of fracture; glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis at high risk of fracture; increases bone mass and reduces fracture risk in severe osteoporosis as prescribed.

Teriparatide is an anabolic (bone-building) agent. Intermittent administration stimulates osteoblast activity more than osteoclast activity, leading to new bone formation and increased bone mineral density, thereby lowering fracture risk.
