Let's confuse things even more. In Japan a weekly administration of a higher dosage of Forteo has been approved. 56 mcg is taken rather than the normal 140 mcg without loss of efficacy if I read the article correctly.

You can find even more articles by searching for teriparatide Japan weekly

A summary of the article.
"It has been found that extending the interval between teriparatide administrations enables bone formation without increasing bone resorption, and a formulation with a weekly dose of 56.5 μg has already been developed in Japan, having been available for use since 2011."

I’m confused.

You say: a higher dosage of Forteo has been approved. 56 mcg is taken rather than the normal 140 mcg

Is this correct?

Is this what you meant to say?
