Thank you Chris for your response with wonderful information.I can't take the oral meds due to irritation issues. I know that Tymlos builds bones and can use it for up to 2 years. Prolia will only protect what is there. Dr. have there own opinions and can't agee on one course. Knowing that Tymlos can be started with smaller does is wonderful to know. Since the Dr. and Pharmacist say nothing of it. I metabolize meds very quickly and this could be my answer.I am 72 and really wondered about needing all this.Also the high copay for it vs Prolia not costing anything. But I will not go on my soapbox.
I am so glad I found this site. Patients can give more insight.

Good, @diva. Looks like we hit the target and a direction for pursuing more information about your choices. Please let me remind you that the 1/2 dose info was only my assumption that the “pen” would be able to permit 1/2 doses after I looked at it again. It would still be necessary to make sure a 1/2 dose would meet the minimum dose required.

I know I am a bit of a watch dog. That may be why I love being a mentor. Have a lovely evening. Chris
