I’m asking a question to ALL. I’ve been somewhat confused by the whole Forteo vs Teraparatide. I’ve seen them talked about as one and the same , AND then other times I feel like Forteo is the first line of the drug and Teraparatide is a generic of Forteo. Please inform, who decides which one to use , if there is a difference, and of course if Teraparatide is a generic it would be cheaper right?? Any difference in the quality and results of the two , if they are in fact different prescriptions. Many thanks!!

Further…..So I just saw that Teraparatide is the active ingredient in the drug Forteo, so where does that lead me in my previous question ????
