I’m taking Tymlos and I prefer it because the dose is adjustable so it has been easier to manage side effects. It is covered under my Medicare part D prescription plan and monthly cost depends on where I am in the plan ie. more expensive in donut hole vs catastrophic phase. I use CVS specialty pharmacy because they are the only pharmacy my doctor will work with. The drug manufacturer has financial assistance based on income.

Hello @grrranny. I moved your discussion and combined it with a discussion titled: "Financial discussions/tips concerning expensive treatment" - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/financial-discussionstips-concerning-expensive-treatment/.

I did this so you could meet other members who have posted their questions in regards to Forteo, Tymolos and Eventity and their experiences with the medication as well as payment concerns.

@grrranny, do you have the choice between those three or have you already been prescribed one? Do you have concerns with a particular medication?
