BONMAX PTH Cartridge 3ml contains the active substance Teriparatide 750mcg/3ml, a synthetic form of human Parathyroid Hormone (PTH). It belongs to a group of medicines known as Bone Formation Agents (Anabolic Osteoporosis Treatments). It is primarily used for the treatment of severe osteoporosis in postmenopausal women, men with osteoporosis, and patients at high risk of fractures. Teriparatide stimulates the formation of new bone, increases bone density, and helps reduce fracture risk.
Unlike many osteoporosis medicines that mainly slow bone loss, BONMAX PTH actively promotes new bone formation, helping strengthen bones and improve overall skeletal health.
