I was able to take Forteo injections for only 6 months with a coupon. The cost was only $4.
But now the coupon has run out and I can't afford the injections anyone!
The only side effect I had with Forteo was increased belly fat. I tolerated the injections really well. I would definitely choose this need over evenity! Those side effects scare me to death! I also have severe osteoporosis and osteo arthritis!
Good luck with your journey!
Hello @sandybeach4567 - I moved your discussion and combined it with an existing discussion titled, "Forteo: What is your Experience?" - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/forteo-experience/.
@leeosteo posed a similar question as you and members @janflute, @lkel and @lynn59 all shared their experiences.
@sandybeach4567, how did you do on Fosamax? Did you see any benefit and were able to tolerate the medicine?
