Prolia/Forteo combination therapy?

Posted by amrh @amrh, Jul 10, 2023

I have been doing a deep dive into the sequencing of osteo meds and have seen studies indicating the benefit of combining Prolia and Forteo.
https://www.thelancet.com/journals/landia/article/PIIS2213-8587(19)30255-4/fulltext
"Combined treatment with teriparatide 40 μg and denosumab increases spine and hip BMD more than standard combination therapy. This large and rapid increase in bone mass suggest that this high dose regimen might provide a method of restoring skeletal integrity in patients with osteoporosis."
Does anyone have experience with this?

Hello @goosegirl

It certainly is a wise decision for you to seek another opinion as well as to ask questions about alternative treatment options. It is understandable that when you have any pre-existing conditions, whether they be mental or physical health issues, that all of these need to be taken into consideration when treating any disorder.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you again. Will you post again with any other concerns or questions and also with updates about any changes in your treatment plan?
