Forsteo (teriparatide)

How can this medicine affect other medicines?

It is important to tell your doctor or pharmacist what medicines you are already using, including those bought without a prescription and herbal medicines, before you start treatment with this medicine. Similarly, check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking any new medicines while using this one, to ensure that the combination is safe.

The manufacturer states that this medicine should be used with caution in people taking digoxin, as teriparatide causes temporary increases in the blood level of calcium, and this may potentially predispose people to side effects associated with digoxin.
