Votre expérience avec Forteo

jojogigibobi,

I consider Forteo the best of all medications for osteoporosis. I'm on extended use and have experienced no side effects.
Some experience dizziness because there is a rapid drop in blood pressure after injection. A little salt, and/or a little caffeine can attenuate that drop because both constrict blood vessels. It's best to be hydrated when taking the injection.
I prefer injecting in my thigh. That area has less blood circulation than the area in the abdomen and slows absorption without diminishing it. I also take vitamin K2 two hours before injection, because Forteo increases the calcium in the bloodstream and K2 increases reabsorption in the bone.
I hope you have a good experience, but stay with us and let us know what your experience is.

I've been on a generic version (Teva-teriparatide) for two months now. I was terrified to start taking it, but aside from dizziness, it's been really non-eventful.

I was on Forteo for 2 years and thought it worked really well. I'm glad I had Forteo and not one of the other brands/types.
I put the injections in the outer edges of my stomach area. I alternated sides as well as ranging up and down vertically on each side. I marked things out with a surgical pen (they're cheap on Amazon) so I would wait 3 4 weeks before injecting in the same area,

@gently Merci de cotre commentaire. Il est rassurant.

@hdeff Je vous remercie. J'ai un peu peur aussi.

@lkel Intéressant ce marquage des points d'injection. Merci.

I have been taking Forteo for just about one month with little to no side effects. I had some dizziness the first few days but that has subsided. I wish you the best! I was very worried about taking this or any of the meds, but am happy I started.

@lisitabelle Merci de votre commentaire. J'ai appris tout juste hier que ce médicament n'est pas couvert par mon assurance privée au Canada. Je suis très déçue.

Oh no. I’m so sorry!!!
