Tymlos injections a week off?

Posted by 2024tymloshelp @2024tymloshelp, May 16 10:43pm

Does anyone have data on what happens if someone takes some days off from Tymlos injections? I am taking a trip for 8 days and would rather not bring my Tymlos pen.
However if this would ruin my treatment results (I am in month 9)
I guess I can buy a travel ice pack and bring it.
Just wondering how skipping a week affects results.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

When I called last month and asked my specialty pharmacy about traveling with Tymlos, I was told it can go seven days without refrigeration. That this was new guidance from the manufacturer.

Seven days without refrigeration? Maybe for a brand new pen that hasn't been used. Once you start it, it doesn't need any refrigeration (unlike Forteo.) Just avoid very warm temperatures.

Yes, I was referring to the brand new unused pen

I can relate to your situation. Have a great trip and I hope all goes well and that Tymlos will work out fine as it did for me
