Current safety data for Teriparatide restrict continuous usage to no more than 2 years. As the bone turnover cycle is tightly coupled, the sudden withdrawal of bone formation stimulation will lead to rapid net bone loss due to unbridled bone resorption.

This article examines how this dreaded complication can be prevented, detected and treated.
