Can a person take Forteo again after a 5 year break?

Posted by cvillegal @cvillegal, Dec 1, 2018

I just got the results of my DXA scan. I am in the osteopenia range. I finished a 2 year round of Forteo in 2011. I had to take a lot of prednisone earlier last year, which is why I think I have the decrease again. Just wondered if I could repeat this drug?

They were saying 3 years but the doctors are hesitating. I finished 2 years at the end of September 2023. My bone density went up 11% and I'm glad to be done.

@lkel what follow-up med are you doing to lock in gains from Forteo?
