Palopegteriparatide

How it works

Parathyroid hormone's active fragment on a PEG tether that frees it slowly all day. For hypoparathyroidism, when calcium runs low.

What it's made of

Teriparatide (the first 34 amino acids of PTH) tied to a 40 kDa PEG by a bond that comes loose slowly. The whole thing weighs about 47,400 Da, and almost all of it is PEG. That is how it mimics continuous PTH.

What it's for

Prescribed for

Chronic hypoparathyroidism in adults.
