Forteo is a man-made form of a hormone called parathyroid that exists naturally in the body. Forteo increases bone density and increases bone strength to help prevent fractures. Forteo is used to treat osteoporosis in men and women who have a high risk of bone fracture. Your doctor would need to check that it is suitable for her to take. Dose adjustment may be necessary if she has hyperparathyroidism.
