Radius Pharmaceuticals presented real-world evidence at the World Congress on Osteoporosis, Osteoarthritis and Musculoskeletal Diseases on 12 April 2024, demonstrating that Tymlos therapy resulted in a lower incidence of hip and nonvertebral fractures compared to teriparatide therapy in women with osteoporosis aged 50 and older.
The analysis was based on over 18 months of treatment data involving 43,352 patients, and highlighted Tymlos’ efficacy and safety profile as an important treatment option for osteoporosis management.
Despite limitations in the real-world evidence, the study supported Tymlos’ value in reducing fracture risk, further solidifying its role in addressing osteoporosis.

Specifically, the study showed:
"Specifically, hip fractures were reported in 1.1% of women in the Tymlos cohort compared to 1.4% in the teriparatide cohort, with similar trends observed for nonvertebral fractures."
If anyone is on Forteo and has insurance coverage for it vs Tymlos, Forteo is very effective and is still a good choice. Just don't want anyone to read the above post without the specifics, in case it causes people to fear they are on the wrong drug!
There are a lot of studies out there. I would have taken either but chose Tymlos because the dose is adjustable and I tend to have trouble with full doses of meds.
