The medication is administered subcutaneously, as directed by a doctor, usually once daily. It is important for patients to follow the treatment regimen and undergo regular tests to monitor bone health.

Patients should be aware of potential side effects, such as nausea, joint pain, or dizziness. It is important to inform the doctor of any unusual symptoms.

Common side effects include nausea, joint pain, and dizziness. In rare cases, severe reactions such as hypercalcemia or allergic reactions may occur. Patients should be informed of these risks before use.
