Storage options for generic Forteo when traveling or power outage?

Posted by mountainlover @mountainlover1, 5 hours ago

Going to be starting generic forteo in January. Tymlos not covered by many Medicare D plans except the most expensive and my current D plan covers generic Forteo so easier to just start with that--my first drug for osteoporosis and only option right now. Oral Biphosphanates contraindicated with 23 years of GERD well controlled off PPI's for past 14 years , and IV Reclast wise right now because they are still trying to rule out HPP(so far all tests negative for other causes and genetic etc--- except Alk Phos slightly below normal but it will take time and endo consult with a specialist booked until next June ) and with -4.3 Spine I need something that builds bone the fastest. I live in an area that can have power outages and while I am not sure I will want to travel by plane anywhere during the next 2 years where this feels like such a hassle, I was wondering if anyone in this group recommends what they use for travel or power outages. Thanks.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

I had a cooler to put it in when I traveled and made sure there was a refrigerator available. If it’s a hotel refrigerator it’s necessary to keep an eye on it or it might freeze
