Teriparatide (Forteo) vs Vosoritide (Voxzogo)
An educational, source-based comparison of Teriparatide (Forteo) and Vosoritide (Voxzogo) — how each peptide works, what it's researched for, and what to know before going deeper.
Recombinant PTH(1-34) for severe osteoporosis.
Recombinant fragment of parathyroid hormone (amino acids 1–34). Intermittent dosing stimulates osteoblast activity more than osteoclasts, producing net bone formation and increased bone mineral density.
- Postmenopausal osteoporosis
- Male osteoporosis
- Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis
- • FDA-approved.
- • Lifetime use limited to 2 years; transient hypercalcemia possible.
C-type natriuretic peptide analog for achondroplasia.
Modified C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) analog that binds NPR-B, antagonizing overactive FGFR3 signaling in the growth plate to increase endochondral bone growth in children with achondroplasia.
- Achondroplasia in children ≥5 years (now ≥4 months)
- • FDA-approved.
- • Transient blood pressure decrease; ensure adequate hydration/food before dosing.
