WHAT FORSTEO IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
FORSTEO contains the active substance teriparatide that is used to
make the bones stronger, and to
reduce the risk of fractures by stimulating bone formation.
FORSTEO is used to treat osteoporosis in adults. Osteoporosis is a
disease that causes your bones to
become thin and fragile. This disease is especially common in women
after the menopause, but it can
also occur in men. Osteoporosis is also common in patients receiving
corticosteroids.
