Authors' objectives:

To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the recombinant human parathyroid hormone (Teriparatide) in the treatment of osteoporosis in the postmenopause.

Authors' recommendations: As administered in low doses (20mg) and intermittently Teriparatide seems to reduce vertebral (67%) and non-vertebral (38%) fractures, and increases the column and fermoral bone mineral density. Longer studies are necessary to provide conclusions about safety and persistence of therapeutical effects.
