@hipsalve I started out on the generic for 3 months which was what my insurance at the time covered, then new insurance in 2025 covered Forteo but not teriparatide so I did Forteo, then this year back to the generic, again for insurance reasons. Physically I couldn't tell any difference. I have no idea if it will have any bearing on DEXA results but in general I don't think generic v brand name makes a difference, whether an osteoporosis drug or any other.
