I have been on Forteo in the past. I gad no side effects as of yet.(it's been about 6 years. .so I think I'm okay. . I recently fractured 2 more vertebrae... so my doc is putting me on Forteo again. I'm against this and have more research to do. But I digress. Back to you !
How high is your BMI? You have to follow a fairly strict eating plan with the GP-1 meds such as Wegovy. They are new. Many of the side effects are the same. Do you really want to risk not knowing which med is causing the side effect ? Has your doctor actually given you the ok to be on 2 injections. Just throwing out some things for you to think about, before you and your doctor make that final decision. It's important to walk and do other weight bearing exercises with bone density meds... so chances are good if you follow a great diet while on Forteo you will lose weight ! Good luck !!

Hello. Let's just say my BMI qualified me for Wegovy. lol. I spent a year researching and talking to my primary care and my endocrinologist about the possible interactions of the two drugs similar side effects. I was really struggling with my weight and finally decided to just try it. I'm now in my second week of the second month and have had zero side effects and lost 11 lbs. My asthma has greatly improved, cutting down use of my inhaler by 2/3. I'm on the lowest dose. It seems to have taken away my constant hunger and cravings. I still get the leg cramps from Forteo but am resigned to them at this point. I'm eager to see what my DEXA scan is later this month.
