I have been on Forteo daily injections for 1 year and I have experienced considerable joint pains which did not exist prior to treatment. My left hip and knee, my right knee and my hands have been getting worse each month. Has anyone else experienced similar reactions?
My doctor told me that I have Osteoporosis and wants me to try Forteo an injection for two years. Has anyone tried this drug and what were your side effects, if any. I don't want to make my stomach problems worse than there already are.
I have severe osteoporosis and am trying to take Forteo. I started out with half dose and have worked up to a full dose. The full dose 2 days in a row was disabling. My doctor suggested every other day. So I let the previous trial work its way out of my system for 5 days and tried another full dose. This is three days after the dose and I am weaker each day. I move in slow motion. My doctor is puzzled. Anyone had a similar experience?
Just was informed that I have osteoporosis. My doctor wants me to use Forteo, an injection that you use for two years.
As for myself, I am a patient suffering from severe osteoporosis. My doctor, realizing I cannot afford Forteo ($950 per month!), has suggested I try to find how I can take the equivalent, generic version, which is Bonista.
Please, if anyone can tell me how to get ahold of this medication, any address, emails of sellers, etc! I would be so grateful!

i'd small verrucous lesion which cleared out after podophyllin i went to a gyn doc .she prescribed me gardasil inj 3 doses.
I agree with the above two posters. The VL should be drawn 4 weeks after the first injection. For me that is on a Monday. For my 4 week VL I had my lab drawn in the am and took my fifth injection (which was 4 weeks after I started the regimen) that evening.
My case manager has always been very picky about which week I am in. She says one has not had 4 weeks of meds until the fifth inj. One has not had 8 weeks of meds until the ninth inj., etc.
Hi-- When you say Medicare, I assume it is Medicare Part D, administered by an insurance company like Blue Cross, etc? If so, you might be in for sticker shock. I had a similar experience w/ Forteo, via Part D, they wanted $5K for 3 months. I went directly to Lilly, and qualified for pro bono meds for 2 years, the limit of tx on Forteo. My understanding is patients with cirrhosis get priority. Other Gilead experienced persons, and there are a few here, can tell you more.
I got the same problem. My doc also advised me to take isocort prednisolone methylcobalamine inj and my usual hypothyroid med. My ringing started 3 weeks back and now I feel somewhat better but not completely cure. I hope you will share your improvement also.
Hi
These are the list of medicines that i had taken during my stay in hospital 29th sept to 2nd of october(Inj Raz, Inj Voveran, Inj Emset, tab Aziresp, Tab Oflin, tab Allegra, Tab Enteroquinol, tab Ridol, i/v fluids and other supportive treatment)
We did unprotected sex on 8th or 9th of october and 23rd sept was the date of last period
I got conceived ? I want to know above medicines will effect on my pregnancy.
no i dont think a injection would do much in this case, i think that it might jsut be too early to see something for sure and depending on the shape of your uterus it could have just been missed, i would wait till the Dr check you again and go from there
did he talk to you about progesterone injections? are your levels off?
Took my first interferon inj at 6 p.m. At 1.am night woke up to go to wash rm. while coming back collapsed in the hallway and was taken to emergency..They told that my BP dropped and thats the reason for my fainting. Is it the side effect of inj. Has anyone on this forum experience such side effect. They gave glucose drip and felt better afterward. My next inj is on coming Thursday and already scared about it. Can anyone advise to be better prepared this time around.
Medications themselves can be classified as antiresorptive or bone anabolic agents. Teriparatide (Forteo) is also approved for the treatment of postmenopausal women who have severe osteoporosis and are considered at high risk for fractures. The medicine is given through daily shots underneath the skin and you can give these shots even at home. Another advantage is that it can be given in patients who cannot tolerate oral biphosphonate drugs.
I took Inc at 6am 2pm and 10pm... Ribo 8am 8pm.... the peg inj is best down at night.. I like to take Tylenol before th inj. Welcome, I hope your side effects are few.
