@jakedduck1 The black box warning has been taken off of Forteo and will be shortly taken off of Tymlos. There has never been a problem in humans and the amount given to the rats was quite large. Forteo can now be used for an indefinite amount of time ----- if you can afford it. I am on Tymlos and with my Medicare, it's costing me a bit over $560 a month, which frankly is a sacrifice. I also looked into Forteo and it cost almost twice as much!

Of course after you get off of these drugs your bones will revert to losing mass, that's what they do naturally as you age, it's not an effect of the drug. These drugs build up the bone so they can then be maintained at that better level. From everything I have read and heard they do definitely help with bone mass, DEXA scores almost always increased considerably.

I also for some reason don't really trust Dr. Brown, she seems too commercial to me. She's in this for the monetary compensation.
