Would you continue Forteo treatment past the recommended 2 years if T scores remain low and procollagen (P1NP) is elevated and if so, how would you monitor response?
Answer from: at Academic Institution
I would offer a third year of a PTH analogue if the BMD response is less than a -2.5 T Score. I would follow quarterly serum calcium levels and a BMD for 1 year to assess the effects.
