Low incidence with Forteo, not MACE, but arrythemias. that can lead to afib.
One nice thing about Forteo and Tymlos is that you can quit the medication overnight. That's because of the not so nice thing that you inject it everyday. With Evenity, if you have side effects, you are stuck for a while-- 64 days.
Some can't take Forteo or Tymlos
No osteosarcoma risk with Forteo. Yes, also disproven.
Forteo has to be followed but some are following with Forteo, now that the 18 month limit has been removed.
No matter what you decide, be sure and have bone markers CTX and P1NP before you start and during treatment to make sure the medication is helping your bones.
More, questions please.

Thank you very much! I took Actonel for 4.5 years (I've been off it for 3 years now). I read that Evenity, Tymlos/Forteo will be less effective because of my prior Actonel use.

Tomorrow I will ask my doctor if one of these drugs works better after taking Actonel.

Many thanks,

I am searching for the results of taking Forteo over a year and how much it helped with DEXA score
