I started Forteo September 7, 2021. I finished September 30, 2023. Twenty four months is the standard treatment. For some rare cases, it can be thirty six months.

My side effects seemed minimal. There was some bone pain about 3-4 weeks in. It lasted a few days and didn't come back.

My Dexa scans showed 9% density gain. 4% the first year and 5% the second year. I would use Forteo again.

I am taking Fosamax (Alendronate Sodium) once a week.
