4. INDICATIONS AND USAGE
Teriperatide-Teva is indicated:
For the treatment of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis who are at high risk for fracture (defined herein as having a history of osteoporotic fracture or multiple risk factors for fracture) or who have failed or are intolerant of previous osteoporosis therapy, based upon physician assessment. In postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, teriperatide increases BMD and reduces the risk of vertebral and nonvertebral fractures.
To increase bone mass in men with primary or hypogonadal osteoporosis who are at high risk for fracture. These include men with a history of osteoporotic fracture, or who have multiple risk factors for fracture, or who have failed or are intolerant to previous osteoporosis therapy, based upon physician assessment. In men with primary or hypogonadal osteoporosis, teriperatide increases BMD. The effects of teriparatide on risk for fracture in men have not been studied.
For the treatment of men and women with glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis at high risk for fracture. See CLINICAL STUDIES (15.3 – please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information).
