Second round of Forteo

I also took Forteo with good results in 2016 and now taking a second course and into my 14th month. Evenity was not covered by my plan and I'm happy to do what I already know my body accepts. There should be more research or info gathering on those of us doing a second course of Forteo/Teriparatide.

Thanks for your reply. Agree there should be more info gathering on those doing second course of Forteo. Did your endocrinologist comment about any info available?

@hipsalve No. She is pushing Evenity. I will have to see my bone density results in January to make a final decision, but not overly impressed with what I have read on Evenity, nor is it covered by my insurance.

What did you use after your first round of Forteo that made you resume so many years later?

@ipg After first time of 24 months with Forteo, I had one shot of Prolia and developed severe dental problems, so did not continue and instead, used Raloxifene . It held my gains, "with no significant change" noted in my yearly bone density scan. (however, keep in mind they can no longer get readings from my spine do to previous multiple compression fractures). It was noted that over the years those "insignificant loss results' were adding up and an another course of Forteo recommend.
