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!

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.
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.
Discuss with your doctor the use of magnesium oil or a magnesium transdermal patch. Another route is to learn to give the injections yourself. Generic injectable magnesium is rather inexpensive.
doctor is saying that he will give her injectable antibiotics for 7 days which is the best solution for this problem.. we as a parent are reluctant to give her injectable antibiotic... please advise what to do ?? your cooperation is highly appreciated ..
I have done several iui's and used clomid, femera and the hcg injections so far. I'm wondering about the injectable fertility Meds I keep hearing about, my RE hasn't suggested them yet... Anyone have any insight about other meds?
Thanks for your feedback. My case has baffled most doctors. I drink alot of water, eat a healthy diet and don't smoke or drink. The only meds I take are for my bones (Forteo) as I found out that I had extreme osteoporosis in Nov. 2008. I have had my circualtion checked several times and it is reduced in my "weaker" foot. There is no blockages and I have no rare diseases....
My problem is only becoming worse and noone knows why....
t know where to ask this but I was wondering if any of you guys have Hashimotos or other auto immune diseases and also have had injectable fillers or implants? Do you think one will effect the other?? thx.
I was wondering if I can get a pharmacist to convert my pill prescription into an injectable dosage so that the medication bypasses my gut.
Hi Everyone,
I was curious how everyone made their decision regarding which injectable to take. It is better to take the daily injectable? Will the daily injecftable work faster. Thanks in advance. Is it easier to tolorate sub-q vs. in the muscle?
I am in the process of many test now and the only abnormalty found so far is an elevated level of calcium in my blood, a result of Forteo injections. My blood pressure is perfect! Can you give me any idea what is happening to me and if there is anything I can do to help myself this mystery is solved?
To remind you of the risks of HIV, they are (and ONLY are) having unprotected (without condom) vaginal sex, unprotected anal sex and sharing IV injectable needles. That is it. Air exposure means that touching your anus with anything, his finger his penis, etc. will not transmit the virus. Air inactivates the virus. What you describe is of zero risk.
m planning to go to dermhouse, but i have heat rash , or skin allergies right now...is it ok for me to have injectable gluthathione or i'll just wait the rashes to subside before having injectable gluthathione?
