Should I use an anti-resorptive agent after Forteo?

Hello @06111945cc

I have one datapoint for you on the proposed intermittent Forteo (Teriparatide). Below is a slide from a Dr. Michael McClung presentation at the 2023 World Congress of Osteoporosis that shows a study of Forteo used on and off for 4 years without treatment between breaks. The study is listed at the bottom of the slide. It might make sense to use a bisphosphonate like alendronate in-between breaks, but I have no data here. If you do, perhaps you can share.

Hi Michael, this is Dr. Cosman's work right? Do you know if Dr. McClung is doing the cyclic method off label clinically (or is this method used clinically off label by any doc?)? Thanks

Does anyone know if the transition from Forteo to generic Teriparatide causes any symptoms. I need to switch to Teriparatide for my final three months(of a two year time frame) to the generic because it has gone up to $3,000.
a month.
