Hypoparathyroidism is the last endocrine deficiency disease to receive a functional treatment. There are two drugs, in the world, that treat the hormone deficiency. - Forteo by Eli Lilly and NATPARA by Shire. Please make these drugs available to those who suffer from this rare and challenging disease.

I am a Canadian with Hypopara and Forteo allows me to live a life that is almost normal.

There are so few people who need this drug it would not cost the government a fortune, but for those few people who need it, it would change their lives. Please listen and act.

I take this medication for Surgically Induced Hypoparathyroidism. Without it I would be constantly in ED... This drug keeps me alive, yet I am $ 500 out of pocket every 4 weeks.... We need it to be on the PBS

This is the only endocrine condition with no replacement hormone therapy, this needs addressed quickly. There are thousands of people unable to live their lives due to this rare condition. Come on Australia, be progressive!!!
