Hi @leeosteo Just curious, is there a difference with your copay and coverage between generic teriparatide and Forteo? (My HMO only prescribes Forteo and not generic teriparatide.)
Hi and sorry for the delay in responding. I am using the brand name Forteo. There's a shell game between the specialty pharmacies and the manufacturer and, somehow, this 'copay' arrangement works and I haven't paid for any of the medication, so far.
I would encourage you to stick to the brand name as the generics are typically diluted or cut with other agents. Just my perspective.
Good luck!
