Is it safe to use Terifrac to treat osteoarthritis?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

Both osteoarthritis and osteoporosis are distinct forms of bone loss that are related to an individual's age since they both develop in later life. Osteo refers to bone, arthro means joints, porous means spongy, and weak means foam. Osteoarthritis is a prevalent joint disease that affects people 60 years of age and older. Knee replacements are performed to replace the damaged, painful joints with new, metal ones, giving the affected joints new life. Only exceptionally severe instances of osteoarthritis are treated with knee replacements. Although osteoporosis is a distinct illness, it is frequently observed in the elderly population and is not usually linked to osteoarthritis. To prevent additional bone damage in patients with osteoarthritis and osteoporosis, bone-strengthening injections such as Terifrac (recombinant parathyroid hormone, a hormone that increases bone formation and strength) are typically administered following knee replacement surgery. Since falls are common in patients of this age, these injections also guard against the risk of fracture from simple falls or slips at home. Since Terifrac is a medication that is approved internationally for people just like these, it often does not exhibit any major side effects or consequences. To find out how osteoporosis is progressing both before and after the conclusion of the Terifrac injection course (which typically lasts one to three months), you can get a DEXA (dual x-ray absorptiometry) scan and a bone mineral density test done.

I hope this information will help you.

Thank you.
