Has anyone had experience with Strensiq 80mg/0.8ml Inj for hypophosphatasia (HPP)? What are the real side effects vs. what the packaging says?
I was diagnosed with hypophosphatasia a few months ago. Strensiq has been recommended by my specialist and I’m trying to understand more about it. I’ve read the packaging insert, but it’s tough to know how serious the side effects are. Has anyone else been on Strensiq? What were your experiences, especially with the injection site reactions and other possible side effects? My biggest concern is the risk of severe allergic reactions, which the packaging says is rare but still scary. Any insights or advice?

I've been on Strensiq for a year now, and honestly, the injection site reactions can be a bit tough. I get redness and some swelling, but it goes away after a day or two. Definitely worth it for the bone strength improvements I’ve seen.
So glad I found this thread. I've been putting off the injections because I'm terrified of needles, but it sounds like the benefits are worth it. Has anyone had issues with the thickness of the skin at the injection site?
So, how often do you have to take it? My doc mentioned something about frequent injections. Think I might need to schedule my life around them.
I was on Strensiq for a while and would say to be prepared for some minor inconveniences. It can feel a bit overwhelming at first, but it’s a small price to pay for the benefits. The doctor also mentioned that if you have any concerns with the urine output or vision, you need to get to the hospital right away..
I’ve had changes in urine output too, and it was a bit unsettling. But my doctor said it’s a known side effect and to just monitor it. If anything changes or gets worse, go to the ER right away.
