Has anyone been using Tymlos?

I learned that I didn’t prime the one correctly I tapped on lower part of pen instead of liquid part. Do you think I need to reprime it.

If you released a full dose it doesn't matter that much where you tapped. It is still primed. Just make sure there are no air bubbles. If there are, tap the part of the pen where the clear liquid is and squirt them out, holding the pen upright. But it is no big deal either. If you have an air bubble in a dose you will just get a little less that day.

Yes I released a full dose into the air but I think it might have had an air bubble bc of the redness I got the first day. I am doing 4 soon in a few minutes not jumping to 7 I am not sure if you were suggesting that.

No I was not suggesting jumping to 7!

You primed the pen and are fine. No need to prime again.

Air bubbles do not cause redness 🙂

No I did not release a full dose into the air I didn’t know what a full dose looked like. Today I tapped the air bubble and released half dose into the air and now I see how much a half dose is it’s way more than I released the first day which means I think I didn’t push button in far enough for the first day prime

It is important to reiterate that Tymlos does not cause brittle bones, nor does Forteo. The mechanism by which these two drugs work builds quality bone, unlike Prolia or bisphosphonates, which do create brittle bone if used too long. See McCormick's new book or ask your doc to confirm. Here is the actual insert: note that not a single human has gotten cancer from these drugs and the black box warning has been removed.

TYMLOS may cause serious side effects including possible bone cancer (osteosarcoma), decrease in blood pressure when you change position, increased blood calcium (hypercalcemia), and increased urine calcium (hypercalciuria). The most common side effects of TYMLOS in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis include dizziness, nausea, headache, fast heartbeat, feeling tired (fatigue), upper stomach pain, and spinning feeling (vertigo). The most common side effects of TYMLOS in men with osteoporosis include redness at injection site, dizziness, joint pain, swelling at injection site, pain at injection site, bruising, abdominal bloating, diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, and bone pain.

@cloud60 not only does Tymlos not cause brittle bones but it can help with healing fractures. Anabolics work in a totally different way from anti-resorptives. Please ask your doc or a pharmacist. These incorrect posts may influence others on this forum.

I don’t think I can delete messages in the forum

@windyshores, Thanks so much for your fulsome responses! They are helpful for those of us reading along. I’m interested in the resource you mentioned, McCormick’s. I would like to read it to better help myself. Also, I have a dear friend who I would like to be able to refer to knowledgeable, proven resources who has just been advised to begin Prolia.
Can you give the full title?
Again, thanks!

He also does both phone and in-person consults. He had several fractures and did meds himself, then a more natural approach.
