FORTEO to prevent bone fractures
Osteoporosis & Bone Health | Last Active: Aug 14 4:05pm | Replies (42)Comment receiving replies
I took alendronate (Fosamax) about 4 years ago and considering other medications when the positive response I initially had declines. I'm curious how well Forteo worked for folks and if they were able to improve their T-scores.

Forteo worked well for me. I don't have the info in front of me but my Endo was happy with the results.

One issue is that the recommended sequence is Tymlos or Forteo first (they are similar.)I think taking it after Fosamax lessens the effectiveness.
I improved my T-score from -3 to -2 after nine months on Tymlos. Technically, that's osteopenia territory. It's probably even a little better now that I'm up to 14 months. My most recent P1NP and CTX markers were excellent.
