Dosage Adjustments On Tymlos Pen

Have you had a positive response in terms of DEXA score gains? Are you still on it? What are you planning on taking to maintain the gains you have made on Tymlos? Do you know how long you have to stay on the secondary treatment, for example alendronate? Thank you! I am so afraid of taking the drugs, but equally afraid what will happen if I don't do anything except exercise, diet and supplements. My spine DEXA is -3.6 and I am 67 years old.

hi @diane0202 . I had a DEXA at the 18 month point and had 20% gain in spine (from severe -3.6 to borderline -2.5) and 9% gain in hip. My femur neck is still a problem.
I am extending to a full two years because we were waiting to get clearance from my kidney doc. I am now scheduled for Reclast in late October. My endo wants to do a "test dose" of 20% and then three months later I will tell him what dose I want. I have read that a half dose is effective (2.5mg). I am to hydrate day before, day of, day after with salty liquids. Slow infusion. I believe monitoring will determine how many infusions I have but overall there is a good chance of having a med break (unlike with Prolia).
