@njx58 McCormick did (short term) Fosamax after Forteo, back when those were pretty much the only options. It is helpful to remember he did not go through female menopause. I have no idea what male hormonal changes might do for bones.

I think it is still standard practice to go on a bisphosphomate after taking Forteo. I was told I could choose between a Reclast infusion or a daily/weekly/monthly bisphosphomate pill. One lady on this forum chose BHRT to lock in gains.

Thanks- you make a great point about male vs. female. My understanding is that lower testosterone in men can contribute to bone loss - and lower levels are common as men get older. Testosterone is one of the markers McCormick tests for in men.
