It seems that Teriparitide is less expensive than brand Forteo. Is it as effective? Any thoughts ?

@bellagila, I think Teriparitide is the generic form of Forteo and really the same and why it's cheaper.

"Teriparatide is commonly known by the brand name Forteo®. Forteo® is used in the treatment of osteoporosis. Forteo is a synthetic form of parathyroid hormone (PTH), which is naturally found in the body, that stimulates the formation of new bone and leads to increased bone mineral density."
