Johns Hopkins had this to say:
"Persons with elevated calcium levels, women who are pregnant or nursing, or persons who have ever been diagnosed with bone cancer or other cancers that have spread to the bones, should not use Forteo®. Because long-term treatment effects are not known at this time, therapy for more than two years is not recommended. In animal studies, there was an increase in bone cancer. Although this was not found in humans treated with Forteo, increased risk of developing this cancer cannot be ruled out."
