FORTEO SIDE EFFECTS AND FORTEO & WEGOVY, ARE THERE INTERACTIONS?

No ineractions on this site

Sorry, are you saying we shouldn’t discuss them on this site and should instead look at drugs.com? May I ask if people are taking Forteo and Wegovy and what their experiences are? We discuss our side effects from Forteo all the time. I’m familiar with the link and already looked it up there.

My thinking is, at a time your body needs all the nutrients to build new bones while on an anabolic like FORTEO, is using Wegovy a good idea?

I don’t know. But the extra weight is affecting everything.

@mayblin does Wegovy affect quality of food intake or only quantity?

I can see it has benefits but the possible side effects and contraindications seem daunting. I would hope a doctor would cover the likelihood of problems.

@vkmov since noone was responding, I posted the site on interactions. I didn't know you had already accessed that.

Of course we can discuss side effects that we experience on this site.
You can wait for someone who is considering doing Wegovy along with Forteo but it might be a long wait!

On this site, we cannot give advice, only share our own experiences or resources (like the link to the drug site, which you obviously have seen). I did not mean to offend you. I just wanted you to feel welcome by providing some response since noone was answering.

My doctor said she wasn’t aware of any contraindications. My understanding is that it mainly reduces hunger. As we know, in terms of osteoporosis drugs, doctors don’t always seem to grasp the effects on our lives when taking these drugs. They rightly go by the results from clinical trials. But many more effects are learned from reports after drugs are on the market a few years and adverse event reports are collected. So, even though I read the drug digest report, I wanted to reach out to the people who are actually taking these drugs to see what their experiences have been with Forteo and Wegovy. So that’s why I really appreciate hearing your thoughts, questions and experiences.

My apologies for misreading your helpful post! I see now you were just trying to help which is greatly appreciated. I’ve been on this site for some time but dropped off a little while when I had COVID. I’m sure I’m not the only one on Forteo who’s considering (or presently taking) Wegovy so I thought I would pose the question. The responses so far have been very interesting and have already brought up questions that hadn’t occurred to me yet. Many thanks again!

This is a good point @windyshores. The mechanism of Wegovy indicates regulating appetite via brain. If one has a general well balanced diet and just has a calorie surplus in general, then using Wegovy while on Forteo might be okay. For a diet that is already nutrient deficient, further restriction of daily calories might be too taxing on one’s body.

@vkmov, I didn’t have a weight problem per se, but was actively changing my diet in the past few years for cardio health. Eliminating processed food and go on a well balanced whole food diet helped a lot, although the lure of some “sin food” is hard to resist at times. I’m sure you will find a way to manage your current situation. Hope your FORTEO therapy a great success and please keep us posted when you can.

@vkmov my post was more of a place holder. I never like it when people come on and get no response (It has happened to me). You are a well-informed person and looking for actual real life experience and I hope someone chimes in! Good luck with Forteo!
