[MayGodBlessYou]

i'm still looking it up,but has anyone had experience using terrosa?,

i think it's the australia-distributed version of forteo.

thanks

glad to say, i guess, that we have the choice, pharmacist stocks both.

now it must be a rarely prescribed drug.

Mum asked the endo is it refrigerated, and he said probably.

well, it is, so - has endo ever actually seen it?

and he handwrote the script, teriparatide, a bit weird, like it wasn't in the system that can be printed out. but glad to have the choice. it seems terrosa is newer, and what a terr-ible name, many drug names are ungainly and creepy. this is deliberate.

pharmacist has to bring it in from another town. so, it's rarely prescribed? or rare?

I’ve been on a daily injection for 8 months with no side effects apart from a fat build up in the areas I work njevt. Hope this helps.

I have been on Terrosa for a year now daily injection. Pleased to say no side effects unlike Risidronate which caused the bones to get too hard and resulted in a fracture of the right femur and also started one in the left. Easy to administer the Terrosa with the pen, no problem. Hope this helps.

thank you, good to know, sorry that you had a femur fracture.

what happens with a fracture? how is that treated? how does that heal?

[pjwjgw in reply to MayGodBlessYou]

Basically a fracture is a break, and I only knocked my shoulder and stepped backwards on the leg. Ambulance took me to hospital and I was kept in, operation the next day to insert steel rod and pins/screws stayed for just over a week, then home with daily visits from nurse and physio for 2 weeks. Then your on your own with Zimmer initial few days then crutches. It healed fairly well but I do get some pain but not too bad and at least I was able to walk again😘

i have read that gains on forteo are in lumbar spine, femoral neck slightly, hip mostly,not much gain in thoracic vertebra if any, in fact 1.2% loss,

over a period of time i can't remember, the leder study,

i don't know if that's a loss that would've been worse without it
