Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a hormone naturally produced by the parathyroid gland which plays a role in maintaining the calcium and phosphorus balance. Parathyroid hormone is the only anabolic drug that produces new bone regeneration; other osteoporosis treatments merely reduce the speed of bone resorption. OSTEOFORTIL®, our recombinant human PTH is produced by bacterial fermentation and is indicated for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis, a bone disease in which bone mineral density is reduced, leading to an increased risk of fracture. Osteofortil® will be available in single dose PFSs.
