Teriparatide injection is a recombinant human parathyroid hormone analog (PTH 1-34). It has an identical sequence to the 34 N‑terminal amino acids (the biologically active region) of the 84-amino acid human parathyroid hormone. The molecular formula of teriparatide is C 181 H 291 N 55 O 51 S 2 and the molecular weight is 4117.8 daltons. Its amino acid sequence is shown below: Teriparatide is manufactured using a strain of Pseudomonas fluorescens modified by recombinant DNA technology. Teriparatide injection is supplied as a sterile, colorless, clear, isotonic solution in a glass cartridge which is pre-assembled into a single-patient-use delivery device (pen) for subcutaneous injection. Each pen is filled with volume to allow delivery of 2.24 mL. Each mL contains 250 mcg teriparatide (as a free base), 0.41 mg glacial acetic acid, 0.10 mg sodium acetate, 45.4 mg mannitol, 3 mg metacresol, and water for injection. The drug product is a pH 4.0 solution. Each cartridge, pre-assembled into a delivery device, delivers 20 mcg of teriparatide per dose each day for up to 28 days. Each device contains additional volume to allow troubleshooting of the device 2 times. amino-acid-sequence
