Terifort 750mcg Injection 1ml is used for the following:

• Treating severe osteoporosis in postmenopausal women

• Treating glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis

• Strengthening skeletal structure in the spine and hip regions

• Managing osteoporosis unresponsive to conventional therapies

• Reducing fracture susceptibility in high-risk patients

• Improving trabecular connectivity in weakened bones

• Enhancing cortical thickness in compromised bone structure

• Building bone mass in severe cases of bone loss

• Treat osteoporosis with low bone density in adults only when associated with high fracture risk or failure of other treatments

Follow these instructions while receiving Terifort 750mcg Injection 1ml:

• This medicine is administered by a healthcare professional.

• Ensure the solution is clear and free from particles before use.

• Remain seated or lying down after the injection if you feel dizzy.

Terifort 750mcg Injection 1ml contains teriparatide (750 mcg/3 ml), which works on the body as follows:

• Bone formation stimulation: Teriparatide acts as a synthetic version of the natural parathyroid hormone, activating cells called osteoblasts that are responsible for building new bone tissue.

• Increased bone mineral density: The medicine enhances the mineral content in bones, particularly in the spine and hip regions, making them stronger and less likely to fracture.

• Enhanced bone structure: Teriparatide improves the internal architecture of bones by strengthening the trabecular connections (the mesh-like structure inside bones) and increasing cortical thickness (the outer layer of bones).

• Anabolic action: Unlike other osteoporosis medicines that mainly prevent bone loss, teriparatide actively promotes new bone growth, resulting in a net gain of bone mass.

• Store Terifort 750mcg Injection 1ml in a refrigerator between 2°C to 8°C.

• Never freeze the injection as this will damage the medicine.

• Keep the prefilled syringe protected from light and moisture.

• Store all medicines out of sight and reach of children.

• Check the expiry date before use and do not use if expired.

• Follow proper medical waste guidelines when disposing of used syringes.

• Ensure adequate calcium and vitamin D intake through dairy products, leafy greens, and fortified foods to support bone formation while using Terifort 750mcg Injection 1ml.

• Incorporate weight-bearing exercises, such as walking or gentle resistance training (with your doctor's approval), to help strengthen bones and complement the bone-building action of teriparatide.
