@wilweten I guess it depends on what is considered "long term" for post marketing. I believe Tymlos hit the market in 2017 and 4 years later the boxed warning is removed. I don't feel comfortable with characterizing that as long-term, as much as I want it to be accurate. Even with misgivings, I am continuing Tymlos, albeit at 70 mcg. With severe osteoporosis and malabsorption gastric issues, I don't have many options.

@willowmena I agree, I don't find 4 years 'long term' either. On the other hand, Forteo, which has many characteristics of Tymlos, has been on the market since 2002, and I guess that as the use of Forteo didn't enhance the chance of humans getting osteosarcoma, the risk of getting it from Tymlos was deemed nihil as well.

I'm on Tymlos too.
