Thank you, interesting and important information!

I am just joining this group- trying to decide between Forteo and Tymlos. Tymlos has not been on the market long whereas Forteo has been on for 16 years. Forteo has to be refrigerated (inconvenient) and Tymlos doesn't. I'm a little worried about taking a brand new drug. Can anyone offer some perspective? I'm 56 years old with OP in spine -3.3, neck -2.3. Thank you so much.

I'm 56 with Osteoporosis and am trying to choose between Forteo and Tymlos for injectible. Forteo has been around so much longer (16 years vs. 1 1/2 for Tymlos) but I don't like the inconvenience of having to refrigerate it. Can anyone offer a perspective? Many thanks!

I replied on another thread. More information-- even once you receive insurance approval. To use the drug, you will need to have a training session. I think an in person one is good because the trainer can see your body type, and give you tips accordingly.

Hello, I'm brand new to this group. I was diagnosed yesterday with severe osteoporosis in my lower back AND R.A. I'm a dental hygienist and went to my MD when my right hand started to hurt. I was referred to a rheumatologist for a blood marker for RA and she discovered my osteoporosis on my last several dexa scans that were not read correctly and the diagnosis was missed!! So she suggested Tymlos. She said that my insurance does not cover it. My question is, how do I get Tymols? I have read online that the manufacturer sometimes gives a discount... how does one qualify? She said that Reclast would be my second choice. My R.A, is slight, and right now, is the least of my worries

I’ve been on Tymolos for 4 months. Nothing to report yet other than it’s easy. No side effects for me. I pay 4$ copay for 1 month. It comes to my house.
