Abstract: Objective To analyze the patterns and characteristics of adverse reactions induced by teriparatide and to provide guidance for its rational use in clinic. Methods Domestic and foreign journals published between January 1, 2002 and March 31, 2020 were retrieved to collect data on cases of adverse reaction induced by teriparatide before statistical analysis. Results A total of 20 adverse reactions reported by 17 articles were collected, involving musculo-skeletal system disorders, metabolic and nutritional disorders and skin damage. Most of the adverse reactions were cured soon after discontinuation of medication, but musculo-skeletal system disorders might take months to cure or persist throughout one’s life. Conclusion Before prescribing teriparatide, doctors should find out about the basic biochemical indicators, such as blood calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase and creatinine and make sure that patients with bone malignant tumors, bone metastases, and at high risk of osteosarcoma are excluded from use.

Key words: teriparatide, parathyroid hormone, osteoporosis, adverse reactions
