Osteoporosis and Forteo (teriparatide): What to hear experiences

Posted by ans @ans, Feb 16, 2023

Wanting to hear people’s experience with using Forteo generally , good and bad. Concerned about having to travel and keeping it at the 36-46F range. Also would like to hear from those that used it 15-20 years ago and if any medical issues have come about that are related to Forteo.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

Just curious how many patients had multiple spinal fractures before you started Forteo like I did after lifting something heavy because my not too smart doctor never checked with a dexa scan !!

I had 13 compression fractures before starting Forteo. I completed the full 24 months and have not fractured since. Now, 7 years later I have just started the generic version of Forteo and will do that for 6 months and then Evenity. Forteo shows bone growth at 3 and 6 months, so I am hopeful!
