@gently yes, I heard about all this just as I started on Prolia! I also heard one cannot have dental work done while on Prolia because one of the side effects is jaw necrosis. Thankfully, I had taken just one injection at the time and I refused to take any more, but I waited two years after that first injection before I got a decayed molar extracted, just to be sure I had no necrosis problems!

I am not covered for brand name drugs. Do Forteo and Tymlos have generic versions? I do better with brand named meds (because they are the original formulations - not because they are a “fashion statement”, lol) but unfortunately I often don’t get approved for the original brand name meds.

Alvogen is the brand for generic teriparatide (Forteo). Tymlos doesn't yet have a generic, which might work in your favor because Forteo (generic) or not is the best drug ever. I've switched back and forth because I don't carry prescription insurance. https://www.alvogenteriparatide.com/savings-program
