FORTEO to prevent bone fractures

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.

Wow that's great news! I was diagnosed at 50 and took Fosamax for about 8 years in total with a break in between treatment for about 3 years. That was prior to the injectables which appear to have less side effects (thigh fracture was the negative for Fosamax) and perhaps improved results. Since I'm not in the market just yet for medication management, more research etc. may come through to manage osteoporosis as time goes on. I'm actually working on a new autoinjector which should improve the patient experience at least down the road. In the meantime, I do lots of yoga and started incorporating weight training into my exercise routine. It's awesome that Tymlos has had such a positive improvement to your T-score and markers.
