recommended
for patients who cannot be well-controlled on calcium and active forms

WARNING: POTENTIAL RISK OF OSTEOSARCOMA

IN MALE AND FEMALE RATS, PARATHYROID HORMONE CAUSED AN INCREASE IN THE
INCIDENCE OF
OSTEOSARCOMA (A MALIGNANT BONE TUMOR). THE OCCURRENCE OF OSTEOSARCOMA
WAS DEPENDENT ON
PARATHYROID HORMONE DOSE AND TREATMENT DURATION. THIS EFFECT WAS
OBSERVED AT PARATHYROID
HORMONE EXPOSURE LEVELS RANGING FROM 3 TO 71 TIMES THE EXPOSURE LEVELS
IN HUMANS RECEIVING
A 100 MCG DOSE OF NATPARA. THESE DATA COULD NOT EXCLUDE A RISK TO
HUMANS _[SEE WARNINGS _
_AND PRECAUTIONS (5.1), NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY (12.1)]._

BECAUSE OF A POTENTIAL RISK OF OSTEOSARCOMA, USE NATPARA ONLY IN
PATIENTS WHO CANNOT BE
WELL-CONTROLLED ON CALCIUM AND ACTIVE FORMS OF VITAMIN D ALONE AND FOR
WHOM THE POTENTIAL
BENEFITS ARE CONSIDERED TO OUTWEIGH THIS POTENTIAL RISK _[SEE
INDICATIONS AND USAGE (1) AND _
_WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS (5.1)]._

AVOID USE OF NATPARA IN PATIENTS WHO ARE AT INCREASED BASELINE RISK
FOR OSTEOSARCOMA SUCH
AS PATIENTS WITH PAGET’S DISEASE OF BONE OR UNEXPLAINED ELEVATIONS
OF ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE,
PEDIATRIC AND YOUNG ADULT PATIENTS WITH OPEN EPIPHYSES, PATIENTS WITH
HEREDITARY DISORDERS
PREDISPOSING TO OSTEOSARCOMA OR PATIENTS WITH A PRIOR HISTORY OF
EXTERNAL BEAM OR IMPLANT
RADIATION THERAPY INVOLVING THE SKELETON _[SEE WARNINGS AND
PRECAUTIONS (5.1)]._
