Terifrac Injection should be injected under the skin or given by a healthcare professional. You should use it regularly and at the same time each day to get the maximum benefit from it. Usually, it is recommended to take it for a maximum period of 2 years. However, follow the doctor’s advice and complete the course even if you feel better.

It stimulates new bone formation, increases bone mineral density, and improves bone strength. This significantly reduces the risk of fractures, particularly in the spine and hip. Strengthening the bones helps individuals maintain mobility, reduce pain, and preserve independence, ultimately improving their overall quality of life.

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

How to use Terifrac Injection

How Terifrac Injection works

Terifrac Injection is a synthetic form of a natural human hormone called parathyroid hormone (PTH). It works by increasing the number and activity of bone-forming cells (osteoblasts). This strengthens the bones and minimizes the risk of fractures.
