Brief Summary:
The purposes of this study are to evaluate the acceptance of the subcutaneous drug teriparatide over 6 months of therapy in patients with severe osteoporosis in Canada, and to evaluate how often such patients are actually able to use the injection; to obtain additional safety data (side effect data) that will supplement the existing database of adverse events that have been reported to-date in clinical trials by patients treated with teriparatide; to document the prior use of other osteoporosis therapies in this patient population, and ongoing use of other osteoporosis therapies during the study; and to describe the baseline demographics and disease state of these severely osteoporotic patients.The purposes of the study extension are to continue to assess the acceptance of the subcutaneous drug teriparatide over up to 18 months of therapy in patients with severe osteoporosis in Canada, and to continue to assess how often such patients are actually able to use the injection; to obtain additional safety data (side effects) that will supplement the existing database of adverse events that have been reported to date in clinical trials by patients treated with teriparatide.
