Why two NDCs? The FDA registers this code as 73362-100-01 — a 5-3-2 layout, and that's what's printed on the package and shown on DailyMed. For insurance claims, every NDC is standardized to a uniform 11-digit 5-4-2 format by adding a zero to the product segment → 73362-0100-01. Same drug, same package — only the format differs.

🧪 Inactive Ingredients / Excipients

Inactive ingredients, also called excipients, are components of the drug product other than the active ingredient. They may include fillers, dyes, coatings, preservatives, flavors, or other formulation ingredients.

A current SPL was checked, but it does not contain a structured or narrative inactive-ingredient list for this product. This does not mean the product has no inactive ingredients.
Where does this data come from?
Source: official FDA Structured Product Labeling (SPL) via DailyMed and the openFDA label index. Structured IACT rows and label-wide narrative are kept separate; availability and product-level specificity depend on the submitted label.

Inactive ingredient FAQ

Are inactive ingredients the same for every manufacturer?
No. Inactive ingredients can differ by manufacturer, dosage form, strength, and package / product version.
Why might an inactive ingredient be missing?
Some SPLs do not provide a complete structured inactive-ingredient list, and older or unusual labels may only include the information in narrative text.
Can inactive ingredients matter?
Yes. They can matter for allergies, intolerances, dyes, gluten / lactose concerns, preservatives, and formulation differences — but confirm with a pharmacist or the manufacturer when it’s clinically important.

💲 Pricing

A drug doesn't have one price. Each row is a different public payment system, and none is what you'd pay at the counter — that depends on your insurance. The ⓘ on each row explains what it measures.

Price systemPer mLPer package
Retail pharmacies payNADAC · weekly Not in the retail survey — common for institutional, discontinued, or low-volume packs.
Medicaid paysCMS SDUD · 12 mo $20,250.40 $22,680.45 / 1.12 ml
Medicare drug plans payPart D · Q2 2026 $20,179.95 $22,601.55 / 1.12 ml
Where does this data come from?
NADAC (National Average Drug Acquisition Cost) is the CMS weekly pharmacy-acquisition-cost survey — what pharmacies pay. ASP (Average Sales Price) is the CMS Medicare Part B drug-payment file, published quarterly. Medicaid pays is computed by us from CMS State Drug Utilization Data (total reimbursed ÷ units, trailing 12 months) — gross of rebates and inclusive of dispensing fees, so it reflects what Medicaid paid, not an acquisition cost. Medicare drug plans pay is the median negotiated point-of-sale unit cost across plans listing this NDC in the CMS quarterly Prescription Drug Plan pricing files, before rebates. The VA pays is the federal contract price (FSS, and the statutory Big 4 ceiling where listed) from the VA National Acquisition Center pharmaceutical price file. All are free public government data; each measures a different payer, so the figures are not directly comparable.

We did not find an FDA-approved generic match for this exact strength, form and route. Patent/protection dates below may affect future generic timing.

🛡️ Latest patent/protection date listed: FDA patent/protection data lists protections through Nov 2042. This may affect when a full generic version becomes widely available, but it is not a guaranteed launch date.
📅 FDA approved Aug 9, 2024 RLD RS ⏳ ~16.2 yr to latest listed protection

Why the date isn’t exact: Generic timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added, removed, or worked around with a narrower label — and FDA approval does not always mean a pharmacy can get the generic today.

LOE
Substance patent Formulation patent Method-of-use patent Exclusivity Pediatric +6mo
🏛️FDA exclusivity
FDA-granted marketing protection. It’s separate from patents and may be shorter than patent protection.
🧪Product / substance patents
Patents covering the active ingredient, product, formulation, or related drug features.
🎯Method-of-use patents
Patents covering specific approved uses. These can sometimes be carved out with a “skinny label,” but not always.
🛈 What do these terms mean?
Patent
Legal protection listed in the Orange Book that may delay generic approval or launch. Issued by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.
Substance patent
Covers the active drug molecule itself — the hardest to design around. A generic generally can’t launch until it expires.
Formulation (product) patent
Covers a specific formulation or dosage form. A generic can sometimes work around it with a different formulation.
Method-of-use patent
A patent covering one specific approved use of the drug — not necessarily the whole molecule. A generic can sometimes launch with a “skinny label” that carves out the protected use and keeps the others.
Skinny label
A generic label that omits a still-patented use when the FDA allows it — letting a generic reach the market for the unprotected uses.
Exclusivity
FDA-granted marketing protection, separate from patents — e.g. 5-yr new chemical entity, 7-yr orphan drug, or a +6-month pediatric extension.
Paragraph IV
A generic applicant’s formal challenge to a listed patent. It can potentially lead to earlier generic entry, but often involves litigation or a settlement.
RLD / RS
Reference Listed Drug — the brand product the FDA uses as the reference for generic applications. Reference Standard — the product the FDA expects generics to compare against in bioequivalence testing.
TE / AB rating
FDA therapeutic-equivalence rating. An AB rating generally means the FDA considers a generic therapeutically equivalent to — and substitutable for — the brand.
LOE (loss of exclusivity)
The latest patent or exclusivity currently listed — the loss-of-exclusivity / latest-listed-protection date shown on this page. Paragraph-IV challenges and settlements can move the real date earlier; FDA approval and a manufacturer’s decision to market can move it later.

Built from the FDA Orange Book. The bars above are scaled to each protection’s expiry; the red LOE marker is the last one to lapse.

Common questions
Is there a generic version of YORVIPATH 168 MCG/0.56 ML PEN?
No FDA-approved generic equivalent is currently listed in the FDA Orange Book for YORVIPATH 168 MCG/0.56 ML PEN. Based on the patents and exclusivity currently listed, the Orange Book estimate is that full-label generic entry may be delayed until Nov 2042 — an estimate, not a guaranteed launch date.
The FDA approved a generic — why can’t I get it at my pharmacy yet?
FDA approval and pharmacy availability are two different things. The FDA can approve a generic years before it actually reaches pharmacies, because the brand company may still hold patents or have a settlement that delays the launch. A manufacturer also has to choose to make and sell it, and have supply ready. So a drug can be “FDA-approved generic exists” and still be brand-only at the counter today.
Why do different websites show different generic release dates?
Generic availability is not based on one single date. Some sources use the first exclusivity expiration, some use the last product patent, and others use the latest method-of-use patent. Patent challenges, settlements, licenses, and label carve-outs can also change the real-world launch date. This page shows the underlying Orange Book dates so you can see why estimates may differ.
What does “FDA listed” mean?
It means the product appears in the FDA’s official NDC directory. That’s a good sign a product exists and is intended for the U.S. market, but on its own it does not confirm a pharmacy can fill it today. Where we have recent retail pricing data (NADAC) for a product, we label it “Availability likely” instead.
What does a patent or protection date mean here?
It’s the latest date currently listed in the FDA Orange Book for a patent or exclusivity on the brand product. It can affect when a full generic version becomes widely available — but it is not a guaranteed generic launch date. Generics sometimes arrive earlier (through a settlement or patent challenge) or later (a manufacturer still has to make and sell one).
What does “current Orange Book estimate” mean?
It means we are using the latest patent and exclusivity dates currently listed in the FDA Orange Book. It is not a guaranteed launch date.
Can a generic come out before the last patent expires?
Sometimes. A generic company may challenge a patent, settle with the brand manufacturer, receive a license, or obtain approval with a narrower label that avoids a patented use. In other cases, the last listed protection may delay full-label generic competition.
Can a generic come out after the listed dates?
Yes. Even after patents or exclusivity expire, a generic still needs FDA approval and a manufacturer must choose to market it. Supply, litigation, business decisions, or regulatory issues can delay actual availability.
What is the difference between patents and exclusivity?
Patents are legal protections usually issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. FDA exclusivity is marketing protection granted by the FDA. They are separate, and either one can affect generic timing.
Why are there multiple patent dates?
One drug can have several patents covering different things: the active ingredient, a formulation, a manufacturing process, or a specific approved use. That is why a page may show several expiration dates instead of one simple generic date.
Built from FDA Orange Book patent and exclusivity data. Dates are refreshed from public FDA data when available; the marker is max(latest patent expiry, latest exclusivity expiry). Paragraph-IV settlements and first-filer 180-day exclusivity can shift the real date; a method-of-use patent may allow an earlier skinny-label generic for non-protected indications. Generic launch timing is an estimate, not a guarantee.
Where does this data come from?
Patents and exclusivity from the FDA Orange Book (small-molecule drugs), refreshed from public FDA data. Generic launch timing is an estimate, not a guarantee.

🗺️ Medicaid utilization & spend

📍 This exact package only: Medicaid data is reported per full 11-digit NDC — labeler, product and pack size — so every number here is for 73362-0100-01, not the drug overall. Other pack sizes report separately.
💊 Pharmacy benefit only: These are Medicaid outpatient pharmacy claims, billed by NDC. They exclude the medical benefit — clinic- or hospital-administered drugs billed under HCPCS J-codes — so drugs used mostly that way (e.g. Avastin, Lucentis, Keytruda) can look low or missing here. That’s expected, not an error.
📅 Q1 2025 – Q4 2025 · 4 quarters of data
ⓘ The newest quarter is usually incomplete when first published; states restate recent quarters in later CMS releases, so the latest figures typically revise upward. State coverage-policy changes can also shift quarter-to-quarter totals.

⚠️ Drug-level data: CMS publishes Part D spending by drug, not by NDC — these figures combine every manufacturer, strength and package size sold under the name Yorvipath. That’s a different level of aggregation than the Medicaid card above, which is specific to this exact 11-digit NDC (pack size included), so the two aren’t directly comparable.

Questions about this listing

Why is there no price listed?
The pricing shown on our NDC pages comes from CMS NADAC, a voluntary survey of retail community pharmacy invoices. CMS does not publish a NADAC for every NDC — packages outside the retail survey (institutional and hospital products, bulk packages, discontinued items, and many OTC items) may never receive one. A missing price reflects the survey's scope, not this product's actual cost, and does not mean the product is free or unavailable.
Is the NDC printed on the package the same as the 11-digit billing NDC?
Yes, they identify this exact package in different formats. The FDA registers it as 73362-100-01, which is what is printed on the packaging and shown on DailyMed. Insurance claims use a fixed 11-digit 5-4-2 format, so the short segment is padded with a leading zero: 73362-0100-01, written without dashes as 73362010001. The Identity section at the top of this page lists every form of this code.
What do the three segments of this NDC mean?
In 73362-0100-01, the first segment (73362) is the labeler code FDA assigned to Ascendis Pharma, Endocrinology, Inc.; the middle segment (0100) identifies this specific product — its ingredient, strength, and dosage form; and the last segment (01) identifies this exact package size and type. Together they name one specific package of one specific product.
Is this package still being marketed?
Yes, per the latest FDA NDC Directory data on this page: this package is listed as actively marketed, with no marketing end date reported by Ascendis Pharma, Endocrinology, Inc.. Listing status can change — the directory data on this page refreshes weekly.
Who lists this product with the FDA?
Ascendis Pharma, Endocrinology, Inc. is the labeler of record for this NDC — the company under whose FDA-assigned code the package is listed. The labeler may be the manufacturer itself or a distributor marketing the product under its own code.
Do I need a prescription for this product?
This NDC is listed with FDA as a prescription product, so it is dispensed under a prescriber's order. Your pharmacist can tell you whether any over-the-counter forms of the same medication exist.
This page identifies an FDA-listed package (the NDC) and reports public regulatory and pricing data about the listing. It is reference information, not a medical recommendation — talk to your pharmacist or prescriber about your own medication.
Where does this data come from?
Listing facts (marketing category, packager status, marketing dates) from the FDA openFDA NDC Directory; label availability from DailyMed; pricing coverage from CMS NADAC; equivalence scope from the FDA Orange Book.

⏱️ Dosage and Administration ~3 min read

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Use only one injection to achieve the once daily recommended dosage. ( 2.1 ) Maximum recommended YORVIPATH dosage is 30 mcg subcutaneously once daily. ( 2.1 ) Individualize YORVIPATH dosage based on serum calcium. ( 2.1 ) Refer to the Full Prescribing Information for complete dosage and administration information. ( 2 )

2.1Overview of Dosage and Monitoring Use only one injection to achieve the once daily recommended dosage. Using two injections to achieve the recommended once daily dosage increases the risk of unintended changes in serum calcium levels, including hypocalcemia and hypercalcemia [see Dosage and Administration (2.4 , 2.6) and Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . The maximum recommended dosage is 30 mcg subcutaneously once daily.

If an adequate response is not achieved with a maximum YORVIPATH dosage of 30 mcg, consider adding or restarting calcium and/or active vitamin D therapy and/or seek other treatment options [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . YORVIPATH's once daily subcutaneous dosage is individualized. The recommended starting dosage is 18 mcg once daily and is titrated in 3 mcg increments or decrements with the goal of maintaining serum calcium within the normal range without the need for active vitamin D (e.g., calcitriol) or therapeutic calcium doses (elemental calcium > 600 mg/day).

Calcium supplementation sufficient to meet daily dietary requirements may be continued. Advise patients to monitor daily for clinical signs and symptoms of hypocalcemia or hypercalcemia. Measure serum calcium 7 to 10 days after the first YORVIPATH dose and after any dose change in YORVIPATH, active vitamin D, or calcium supplements, and monitor for clinical signs and symptoms of hypocalcemia or hypercalcemia.

Once the YORVIPATH maintenance dosage is achieved, measure serum calcium levels at a minimum every 4 to 6 weeks or as indicated for symptoms of hypocalcemia or hypercalcemia. Adjust YORVIPATH, active vitamin D, and/or calcium supplements per Figure 1. Some patients may require an increase in the YORVIPATH dose over time to maintain the same therapeutic effect [see Clinical Studies (14) ] .

Refer to the Instructions for Use (IFU) for detailed instructions on the proper preparation and administration of YORVIPATH [see Dosage and Administration (2.6) ] .

2.2Laboratory Testing Prior to Initiation of YORVIPATH Within two weeks before the first dose of YORVIPATH, confirm serum 25(OH) vitamin D is within the normal range and albumin-corrected serum calcium is ≥ 7.8 mg/dL.

2.3Modification of Active Vitamin D and Calcium Supplements on Day of YORVIPATH Initiation or Up-titration On the day of initiation or up-titration of YORVIPATH, adjust the dose of active vitamin D and calcium supplements based on albumin-corrected serum calcium and current active vitamin D intake (Table 1). Table 1: Dosage Adjustments to Active Vitamin D (calcitriol) and Calcium Supplements Upon Initiation or Up-titration of YORVIPATH Treatment Albumin-Corrected Serum Calcium Current Active Vitamin D (calcitriol) Intake Adjust Active Vitamin D (calcitriol) Intake Adjust Calcium Supplements ≥8.3 mg/dL >1 mcg/day Reduce calcitriol dosage by ≥50% Maintain current calcium dosage ≥8.3 mg/dL ≤1 mcg/day Discontinue calcitriol Maintain current calcium dosage ≥7.8 to <8.3 mg/dL Any amount Reduce calcitriol dosage by ≥50% Maintain current calcium dosage ≥7.8 mg/dL Not currently on active vitamin D Not applicable Reduce calcium daily dosage by at least 1500 mg or discontinue If calcium supplements are needed to meet dietary requirements, continuing dietary calcium supplements at elemental dosages ≤ 600 mg/day may be considered instead of discontinuing the calcium entirely. if current calcium daily dosage is ≤1500 mg/day

2.4Recommended Dosage, Titration Scheme, and Monitoring The recommended starting dosage of YORVIPATH is 18 mcg once daily. Dosage adjustments should be made in 3 mcg increments or decrements. Do not increase the YORVI…

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Drugs Known to Affect Calcium : When used concomitantly with YORVIPATH, measure serum calcium levels more frequently. ( 7.2 )

7.1Drugs Affected by Serum Calcium Digoxin YORVIPATH increases serum calcium, therefore, concomitant use with digoxin (which has a narrow therapeutic index) may predispose patients to digitalis toxicity if hypercalcemia develops. Digoxin efficacy may be reduced if hypocalcemia is present. When YORVIPATH is used concomitantly with digoxin, measure serum calcium and digoxin levels, and monitor for signs and symptoms of digoxin toxicity.

Adjustment of the digoxin and/or YORVIPATH dose may be needed.

7.2Drugs Known to Affect Serum Calcium Drugs that affect serum calcium may alter the therapeutic response to YORVIPATH. Measure serum calcium more frequently when YORVIPATH is used concomitantly with these drugs, particularly after these drugs are initiated, discontinued, or dose-adjusted.

👥 Use in Specific Populations ~3 min read

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Lactation : Monitor breastfed infants for symptoms of hypercalcemia or hypocalcemia. Consider monitoring serum calcium in the breastfed infant ( 8.2 ).

8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Available data from reports of pregnancies in the clinical trials from drug development are insufficient to identify a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. There are disease-associated risks to the mother and fetus related to hypocalcemia in pregnancy (see Clinical Considerations ). In animal reproduction studies, administration of palopegteriparatide to pregnant rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis resulted in no significant adverse effects up to doses 16- and 13-fold, respectively, the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD), based on PTH(1-34) and active metabolite PTH(1-33) exposure by area under the curve (AUC) (see Data ).

The background risk of birth defects and miscarriages for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriages in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.

If YORVIPATH is administered during pregnancy, or if a patient becomes pregnant while receiving YORVIPATH, healthcare providers should report YORVIPATH exposure by calling 1-877-229-2184. Clinical Considerations Disease-Associated Maternal and Embryo/Fetal Risk Maternal hypocalcemia can result in an increased rate of spontaneous abortion, premature and dysfunctional labor, and possibly preeclampsia. Infants born to mothers with hypocalcemia can have associated fetal and neonatal hyperparathyroidism, which may cause fetal and neonatal skeletal demineralization, subperiosteal bone resorption, osteitis fibrosa cystica, and neonatal seizures.

Infants born to mothers with hypocalcemia should be monitored for signs of hypocalcemia or hypercalcemia, including neuromuscular irritability (e.g., myotonic jerks, seizures), apnea, cyanosis, and cardiac arrhythmias. Data Animal Data In an embryo-fetal developmental toxicity study in rats, palopegteriparatide was administered subcutaneously during the period of organogenesis (gestation days (GD) 6 to 17) at doses of 2, 8, and 30 mcg/kg/day. In pregnant rats, there was no evidence of embryo-lethality, fetotoxicity, or fetal malformations up to the highest dose tested corresponding to 16-fold the MRHD, based on PTH(1-34) and active metabolite PTH(1-33) exposure by AUC.

In an embryo-fetal developmental toxicity study in rabbits, palopegteriparatide was administered subcutaneously to pregnant female rabbits during the period of organogenesis (GD 7 to 19) at doses of 1, 3, and 6 mcg/kg/day. There was no evidence of any palopegteriparatide-related embryo-lethality, fetotoxicity, or fetal malformations at any dose level up to 13-fold the MRHD, based on PTH(1-34) exposure by AUC.

8.2Lactation Risk Summary There are no data available on the presence of palopegteriparatide or its metabolite in either human or animal milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. Infants breastfed by females treated with YORVIPATH should be monitored for signs and symptoms of hypercalcemia or hypocalcemia. Monitoring of serum calcium in the infant should be considered.

The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for YORVIPATH and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from YORVIPATH or from the underlying sub-optimally treated maternal condition.

8.4Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of YORVIPATH have not been established in pediatric patients.

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ~2 min read

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1Mechanism of Action At physiological conditions, palopegteriparatide releases PTH(1-34) to maintain a continuous systemic exposure. Endogenous PTH maintains extracellular calcium and phosphate homeostasis by increasing serum calcium and decreasing serum phosphate. These effects are mediated by stimulating bone turnover to mobilize calcium and phosphate from bone, promoting renal calcium reabsorption and phosphate excretion, and facilitating active vitamin D synthesis, in turn increasing intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphate.

Similar to endogenous PTH, PTH(1-34) released from palopegteriparatide exerts these effects through its main receptor, parathyroid hormone 1 receptor (PTH1R), which is highly expressed on osteoblasts, osteocytes, renal tubular cells, and in several other tissues.

12.2Pharmacodynamics Serum PTH(1-34) and serum calcium concentrations increased in a dose-related manner when YORVIPATH was administered to healthy volunteers. Exposure-response is not established in subjects with hypoparathyroidism. Mean steady state concentration-time profile of albumin-corrected serum calcium concentrations over 24 hours following administration of YORVIPATH is presented in Figure 3.

Figure 3: Mean Steady-State Albumin-Corrected Serum Calcium Concentrations Following Subcutaneous Administration of YORVIPATH Mean dose (range): 22.3 (12-33) mcg/day, n = 7. in Subjects with Hypoparathyroidism The normal range for albumin-corrected serum calcium is 8.3 to 10.6 mg/dL. Figure 3

12.3Pharmacokinetics YORVIPATH is a prodrug that releases PTH(1-34) via autocleavage of the TransCon linker. PTH C max and AUC increased proportionally over a YORVIPATH dosage range of 12 to 24 mcg/day. PTH steady state is achieved after administration of YORVIPATH for 7 days.

Mean steady state concentration-time profile of PTH(1-34) over 24 hours following administration of YORVIPATH is presented in Figure 4. At steady state, administration of YORVIPATH resulted in continuous exposure to released PTH throughout the 24-hour dosing period. Figure 4: Mean Steady State PTH(1-34) Following Subcutaneous Administration of YORVIPATH Mean dose (range): 22.3 (12-33) mcg/day, n = 7. in Subjects with Hypoparathyroidism a PTH(1-34) concentrations includes PTH(1-34) and active metabolite PTH(1-33).

Figure 4 Absorption The median (range) time to reach maximum concentrations (T max ) of PTH is 4 (4 to 8) hours. Distribution The estimated apparent volume of distribution (CV%) of palopegteriparatide is 4.8 (50) L. A similar distribution pattern as observed for endogenous PTH is expected for PTH released from palopegteriparatide.

Elimination The apparent half-life of PTH released from palopegteriparatide is approximately 60 hours. The estimated clearance (CV%) of palopegteriparatide at steady state is 0.58 (52) L/day. Metabolism Released PTH includes PTH(1-34) and the active metabolite PTH(1-33).

PTH(1-33) and PTH(1-34) have comparable affinity to and activation of PTH1R. Specific Populations There are no clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of palopegteriparatide based on age, sex, or body weight. The data for race and ethnicity did not show any trends indicating differences, but the available data are too limited to make definitive conclusions.

Patients with Renal Impairment A dedicated renal impairment study showed that mild, moderate, and severe renal impairment did not have a clinically significant impact on systemic exposure of total PTH following a single 50 mcg subcutaneous dose of palopegteriparatide. No studies were conducted in subjects with hypoparathyroidism who have severe renal impairment. Patients with Hepatic Impairment No dedicated hepatic impairment study was conducted.

Mild and moderate hepatic impairment is not expected to have a clinically significant impact on the pharmacokinetics of palopegteriparatide.

📋 Description ~1 min read

11 DESCRIPTION YORVIPATH (palopegteriparatide injection) is a parathyroid hormone analog (PTH(1-34)). Palopegteriparatide is a prodrug of teriparatide (PTH(1-34)) consisting of PTH(1-34) transiently conjugated to an inert carrier via a proprietary TransCon Linker. PTH(1-34) is identical to the 34 N-terminal amino acids (the biologically active region) of the 84-amino acid human parathyroid hormone.

The carrier is a branched 40 kDa (2×20 kDa) methoxypolyethylene glycol (mPEG) moiety. The average molecular weight of palopegteriparatide is approximately 47.4 kDa. The structure of palopegteriparatide drug substance is shown in Figure 2.

The theoretical molecular formula is C 209 H 340 N 60 O 59 S 3 + 2 × (C 2 H 4 O) n , where n is between approximately 450 and 500. Figure 2: Structure of Palopegteriparatide YORVIPATH is a sterile, clear, and colorless solution in a glass cartridge which is pre-assembled in a single-patient-use prefilled pen for subcutaneous administration. The prefilled pen is co-packaged with disposable needles to administer 14 doses of YORVIPATH.

YORVIPATH is available in three presentations containing 0.56 mL, 0.98 mL, or 1.4 mL of YORVIPATH solution, and each pen presentation can deliver one of three distinct doses for 14 days of therapy.
