Abaloparatide is a synthetic analog of parathyroid hormone-related peptide, PTHrP(1-34). It is FDA approved as Tymlos for osteoporosis at high risk of fracture in postmenopausal women and in men.

Pens: nothing to mix

Tymlos comes in a prefilled pen holding 3,120 mcg in 1.56 mL (2,000 mcg/mL), which delivers 30 daily doses of 80 mcg. There is nothing to mix and no syringe math. The label dose is 80 mcg under the skin of the lower abdomen around the navel once a day.

If you also use a powder peptide, the free peptide reconstitution calculator handles the vial math.

How to track abaloparatide in Dose Track

  1. Add abaloparatide as a custom compound. It is not in the built-in list, but a custom compound gets the same vial, units and reminder tools, and it sits next to everything else you take.
  2. Log each pen as you use it, with the injection site, so you can see your history at a glance.
  3. Set reminders on your own schedule, whether that is daily, weekly or every few days.
  4. Your log stays on your phone.
