That’s terrible…I see it runs about $800 per month 18 months course would be about $14,000. Sometimes you and your doctor can contact Radius and explain medical necessity and get Tymlos in the neighborhood of $300 month in Canada…$5400 for 18 months.
There are not a lot of options for severe osteoporosis…the usual approach currently is an anabolic (Forteo, Tymlos) or Evenity followed by Prolia, Reclast or other bio similar drug to maintain your gains.
