Bones and musclesHow it works
The full 84-amino-acid parathyroid hormone, for failed glands: it raises blood calcium via kidney, gut and bone.
What it's made of
The whole human hormone: 84 amino acids, made by genetic engineering. It is the same molecule that the parathyroid glands in the neck release.
What it's for
- Prescribed for
- Low calcium from hypoparathyroidism, along with calcium and vitamin D, when these are not enough.
