@lindarent none of these meds have caused cancer. Forteo and Tymlos originally had a black box warning that has since been removed since not a single human has gotten cancer from these drugs. There is still some outdated info on this online but you can check the current drug sites.

Regarding the stroke/heart attack are you referring to Evenity? You have finished, right? The ARCH and FRAME studies showed no difference between Evenity and placebo for cardiovascular risk, and a small but statistically significant difference with alendronate, which may be because that is somewhat protective, according to articles I have read. In any case, I have never heard that Forteo causes stroke or heart attack.

The biggest concerns, I think, in your situation, according to McCormick's book "Great Bones, " Dr. Beb Leder's video on YouTube "Combining and Sequential Approaches to Osteoporosis," and my own endocrinologist are:

1) Forteo will not help with the rebound when you stop Prolia, which can quickly reduce bone density and increase fracture risk. My doc would have you do Reclast (Or if you have only done a few Prolia shots, maybe Fosamax).

2) According to those sources Forteo is not effective after Prolia. Check this with your doctor. Are you seeing an endocrinologist?

Thank you for your comments. What I am mainly concerned about is taking all three drugs. I’ve had 12 treatments of Evenity, then one treatment of Prolia, and now want me to take Forteo. That just seems like an overdose.
