Yes, teriparatide (the generic medicine in the injection) is a highly effective treatment for osteoporosis, especially for postmenopausal women at high risk of fractures. Unlike most osteoporosis drugs that only slow bone loss, teriparatide actively helps rebuild new bone and increase bone density. It is typically taken as a daily injection for a maximum of two years. However, its suitability depends on her specific bone density results, medical history, and kidney function. I recommend discussing this with her doctor to confirm if this is the most suitable plan for her.
