FORTEO is a prescription medicine used to treat postmenopausal women who have osteoporosis who are at high risk for having broken bones fractures or who cannot use other osteoporosis treatments.
FORTEO can lessen the chance of broken bones fractures in the spine and other bones in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. FORTEO is used to increase the bone mass in men with primary or hypogonadal osteoporosis who are at high risk for having broken bones fractures or who cannot use other osteoporosis treatments.

Possible bone cancer. Support includes:. Symptoms of a serious allergic reaction to FORTEO may include swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat that may cause difficulty in breathing or swallowing. Call your healthcare provider right away or get emergency medical help if you get any of these symptoms. I started out at I'm not familiar with the way they describe t scores in your country. I've had 6 fractures of the spine and now my t-score is in the normal range which is really great at I didn't have any side effects and because Forteo is a sub q injection it doesn't go through you intestinal track like the other meds which can cause GI probs.
I'm curious, is the lady that you are referring to called Leslie, and she had a yahoo community group called "Young People get Osteoporosis Too"? Let me know, if this is who you are talking about. She was a pediatric nurse before contracting osteo. I'll post the link to a really good paper from the Cleveland Clinic that explains the whole process.
Please read the portion on the clinical studies carefully, because the rats that contracted cancer did so because they were given a extremely large dose of Forteo over their lifetime which is the reason they got osteosarcoma bone cancer. Fisher rats are predisposed to bone cancer at a rate of in 1,, so the incidence of this in rats is much greater than humans who contract it at 4. Good luck with your treatment, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask any of us. If you need any more info on Forteo, just let me know.
The FDA has a link on it as well, but it doesn't explain it as well as the link below, but it's still very informative. Blues 14 years ago. In reply to Dandelion's comment. Dandelion, check out Windblown's post on June 26 and you will see a link to an article on Cleveland Clinic's website. Excellent article on Forteo. Dandelion 14 years ago.
I not sure if I'll be offered forteo in this forthcoming appointment with the consultant. The only thing that I've come across on the web is an account by a young woman with severe osteoporosis that she was on Forteo for 18 months and that her bone density increased while she was taking it but when she stopped taking it went back to as it was before.
It was a web page made by a young woman in her twenties. I don't know if anyone else can check this out. The other thing I came across is that on the tests on animals that it caused sarcoma whatever that means and I think it said that it is why it is not prescribed for longer.
I don't know if anyone else has come across any information like this. Hope it isn't true! Dear B1, I'm 49 and have severe osteoporosis. I was on fosamax for about a year but I couldn't tolerate it. I've been offered strontium ranelate. I've got fibromyalgia - muscle pain etc. I can't cope with side effects of anything on top of it.
I'm due to see the consultant next month. The osteoporosis is in the age range now since almost 10 years. Have small spinal fracture and fractured ribs. Trying to keep moving! Hi Robinett: Are your allergies with the bisphosphonates? If so, I've heard of many that have GI probs with these meds. Some people can't take them if they have esophageal or GI issues.
I hope the Forteo will be easier to take. One of the pluses with this is that it doesn't travel through you gi tract because it's injected sub q, and it's only in your system for hours.
If you take Forteo or anything else, I wish you luck I'm glad the Cleveland Clinic paper helped!! Thanks much for the info and website with info re Forteo. The doc is considering it for me and, due to being chemically sensitive, will confer with my allergist. Am hoping to get started on it. Hi b1, Kathy, Blues and dawner: I forgot to mention that the only side effect I had over the 2 years from Forteo was elevated calcium.
I had my calcium checked prior to starting Forteo and it was slightly elevated, but I decided to take Forteo anyway, and it remained slightly elevated throughout the treatment. Now that I've finished, it will be interesting to see if my calcium levels goes back to normal or not.
This is a rare side effect, but you should be aware of it. Good luck to you all. Show me more Finite element analysis FEA in hips — a measure of strength — increased with romosozumab and declined with teriparatide.
The increase in bone mass in year two was the same as in patients who had been on romosozumab or placebo in year one, yet the risk reduction for vertebral fracture in year two was 0.
