This report exemplified a case of successful short-term use of teriparatide in the management of hypoparathyroidism. Based on the results of prior small-scale studies investigating the utility of teriparatide in the treatment of the condition, the medication warrants further investigation for use as a first-line agent for patients with hypoparathyroidism given the potential for improved morbidity.
