The Forteo dose is 1/4th the Tymlos dose. I harbor a suspicion that we are all over prescribed. Never more so than with drugs that aren't titrated for weight.

My general sense from reading patient reports is that the side effects from Tymlos are greater. (Though I feel offshore breezes with that thought.) Tymlos contains a preservative that some are allergic to.

Forteo increased bone density over the first six months in the Miller 2016 study. Tymlos lagged but may surpass Forteo in the longer term with fracture prevention rated at 84% compared to Forteo 80%. I was in a bit of a hurry, having considered the situation so long.

Tymlos has the advantage with the hips; my fear is thoracic fracture.

Tymlos also has excites less resporptive action and reduces the incidence of hypercalcemia.

If you decide on Tymlos be sure to read windyshores' genius--posts about manipulating the pen.
