shar 1234, the Tymlos pen is set at 80mcg. It can be lowered. And it has been effective at lower doses. Some physicians encourage starting at a lower dose. Some physicians are opposed ( I'd say forbid, but they don't have complete control over their thinking patients.)
Calling the manufacturer connects you with a clerk.
I think that listening for clicks and lowering the dose is a patient (real world) generated option.
80mcg of Tymlos is overload for some of us. Windyshores posted good gains at reduced doses. But she couldn't tolerate the 80.

I could not tolerate Forteo at all, and was grateful to get on Tymlos by starting at a low dose after the full dose also caused me problems. I moved the dose up to nearly full dose over a few weeks and my body acclimated. The Tymlos pen has "clicks' that measure doses.
I did 4 months Evenity after two years Tymlos then on to Reclast. At the time, I was told I could do Evenity after Tymlos but not the other way around. Evenity was approved 2019 and I went on meds 2021 so it was new.
I had some fractures and read that Tymlos could be helpful with healing, My spine went from serious osteoporosis to borderline a 19.1% gain, in 18 months on Tymlos.
