Quantity of medication Forteo pin administers with "one click"

Posted by 06111945cc @06111945cc, Mar 8 12:16pm

What quantity of medication does the Forteo pin administer with “one click“?

I’m having trouble tolerating Forteo.

I was thinking you could administer the Forteo up to one click, then withdraw the needle and do the rest of it the next day.

Has anyone ever done that ?

It would be nice to know how much medication you were administering to yourself.

Blessings,

maybin,

Boy!
You are a regular Sherlock.

Thank you for your investigation.

I do feel confident that this medication is making a difference on my bones. So, I’ll stick with it.

Maybe every other day will work for me.

I once did a partial dose of Forteo using my daughter's insulin syringes. I shot the full dose into a sterile plastic medicine cup. Then I drew up the whole dose in the insulin syringe, which has markings to measure the whole. Then I emptied the syringe and drew up 10% of the full dose and injected it. I still had a tough time with it, not sure why. My doctor was amused by this experiment and thankfully thought it showed commitment 🙂 Unfortunately this was 10 years ago and it took another 7 years to get on Tymlos. Most people do fine on Forteo without playing scientist!

Is the social security 1099 all that you submit as proof of income?

@06111945cc no I submitted taxes for the previous year. If you didn't file taxes and had no other income, maybe they would accept the social security 1099. Ask Radius! Hope it works for you.
