Hi @lilypaws, Yes Tymlos is newer. There are similar ingredients but they work in different ways. Tymlos, like Forteo before it, works by imitating a natural bone-building process in the body to increase the patient’s bone density.
Tymlos is lab-made copy of part of the human parathyroid hormone-related protein (or PTHrP), while Forteo is a partial copy of the parathyroid hormone. In our bodies, the PTHrP and the parathyroid hormone do many things, notably stimulating bone cells called osteoblasts to produce new bone tissue.
Be calm and at ease these days.
