WHAT PREOTACT IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Preotact is used to treat osteoporosis in women past menopause with
high risk of fractures.
Osteoporosis is a disease that causes bones to become thin and
fragile. It is especially common in
women after the menopause. The disease progresses gradually so you may
not feel any symptoms at
first. But if you have osteoporosis, it makes you more likely to break
bones, especially in your spine,
hips and wrists. It may also cause back pain, loss of height, and a
curved back.
Preotact reduces the risk of breaking spinal bones because it
increases your bone quality and strength.
It has not been shown that Preotact reduces the risk of breaking your
hip.

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Preotact is indicated for the treatment of osteoporosis in
postmenopausal women at high risk of
fractures (see section 5.1).
A significant reduction in the incidence of vertebral, but not hip
fractures has been demonstrated.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
The recommended dose is 100 micrograms of parathyroid hormone
administered once-daily
Posology
Patients should receive supplemental calcium and vitamin D if dietary
intake is inadequate.
Data support continuous treatment with Preotact for up to 24 months
(see section 4.4).
Following treatment with Preotact patients can be treated with a
bisphosphonate to further increase
bone mineral density (see section 5.1).
_Renal impairment _
_Special populations _
No dose adjustment is necessary in patients with mild to moderate
renal impairment (creatinine
clearance 30 to 80 ml/min). There is no data available in patients
with severe renal impairment.
Preotact should therefore not be used in patients with severe renal
impairment (see section 4.3).
_Hepatic impairment _
No dose adjustment is needed for patients with mild or moderate
hepatic impairment (total score of
7 to 9 on the Child-Pugh scale). There is no data available in
patients with severe hepatic impairment.
Preotact should therefore not be used in patients with severe hepatic
