Not sure if Forteo or Tymlos will be covered by insurance without prior authorization. Should it be denied can’t use biophaspates because of my risk of MRONJ
What generic are you referring to that allowed insurance coverage!
What were your side effects? Is it working?

@ipg Try searching on "generic teriparatide" for info about alt to brand name Forteo.

There is no generic version of abaloparatide and Tymlos apparently "stacked" their patents so there may not be one until 2038 or something.

If I was ready for an osteoporosis drug then I would self-pay for generic teriparatide (aka Forteo), If needed I would search until I found a doctor who would prescribe it. But my PCP doctor is quite progressive and currently has me on HRT.
