Why do you consider Forteo to be safer than Tymlos and what do you like after Forteo? Are we all destined to eventually have risks from busphisphrnates? Hrt supposedly may also holds after Forteo or Tymlos.

@sallyj2 both Tymlos and Forteo are good drugs. I could not tolerate Forteo at all. Others can't tolerate Tymlos. I think tolerability is an important factor 🙂

Tymlos is "safe." I am not sure if @gently was referring to cortical porosity effects. My doctors and McCormick seem to think cortical porosity is a negative and Tymlos is slightly better on that count. But @gently posed an interesting question on flexibility vs density.

Here is an older discussion of the two options
