BMD by DEXA with a T-score of -2.5 or lower on lumbar spine or T-score at the lumbar spine, femoral neck or total hip -2.0 or below, together with one or more vertebral fractures documented by lateral spine radiographs.

V. Have signed the informed consent

-

VII. • Anemia (hematocrit <32%).

VIII. • History of cancer (except basal cell carcinoma) or radiotherapy.

IX. Severe cardiopulmonary disease, including coronary heart disease: unstable angina, heart failure class III or IV or any other condition that the investigator believes may prevent participation safely and complete the protocol procedures.

XIII. Regarding the history of ingestion of oral bisphosphonates: After assessment of adequate adherence (compliance greater than 75%), if the patient received six months of treatment, she should have a bisphosphonate-free period of six months. If she took more than six months, the bisphosphonate-free period must be 12 months.

XIV. Current or within the last 3 months before study entry estrogen use, selective estrogen receptor modulators use or calcitonin use in therapeutic doses.

XV. Current use of systemic corticosteroids (oral or parenteral) for more than 14 days in the last 6 months. Vaginal estrogen and isoflavones are permitted .

Known hypersensitivity to pharmaceuticals derived from bacterial cells. XVIII. Hypersensitivity to teriparatide or to any of its excipients. XIX.Nephrolithiasis or urolithiasis in activity, according to the investigator opinion in the 5 years prior to randomization.

XX.Inflammatory bowel disease, malabsorption syndrome or any sign of intestinal calcium malabsorption

XXI. Treatment with androgens or anabolic steroids in the 6 months prior to randomization.

XXII. Any medical condition that in the investigator opinion would contraindicate treatment with an investigational drug.

XXIII. Treatment with coumarin and indandione derivatives in the 3 months prior to randomization or treatment with heparins (at doses> 10,000 U / day) for more than 30 days in the 6 months prior to randomization.

XXIV.Treatment with any other drug known to affect bone metabolism, in therapeutic doses,in the 6 months prior to randomization.

XXV.Treatment with an investigational drug during the month prior to randomization. -

Exclusion Criteria

II. Liver disease (AST or ALT> 2 x ULN). III. Renal disease (serum creatinine> 2.0 mg / dl) and / or creatinine clearance <30 ml / min IV. Hypercalcemia ([Ca]> 10.5 mg / dL). Patients with elevated PTH in the presence of albumin-corrected calcium within normal values can be re-evaluated.

V. Elevated blood PTH ([PTH]> 65 pg / ml) Patients with elevated PTH in the presence of albumin-corrected calcium within normal values can be re-evaluated.
