Dosage Adjustments On Tymlos Pen

Hi @windyshores
When I was using Tymlos, the injection nurse at the pharmacy told me to throw the pen away after 30 days, even if there was med remaining in the pen. In checking the Radius website, it states that the pen “expires” and should be discarded after 30 days as well. I don’t know if the reason behind it is to make sure they dispense the max number of pens during treatment ($$$$$) or if the meds become less effective after that timeframe.
Anyone have any thoughts or info to share?
Hope everyone is cool under this hot July sun. Cheers!

Beanieone,
I don't think the pens last much longer than 30 days. I was on 2 clicks and used the pen for 60 days. When I started the next pen all of my side effects came back, so I figured it was stronger. I always refrigerate. Now I'm on 4 clicks and only let it go afew days or a week past 30 days, and I can't tell any difference with the new pen.

My doctor, the company and the pharmacist all told me that it is fine to use it past 30 days if it is refrigerated the whole time.
