(TymlosTM): a [[recombinant DNA]] copy of the entire human [[parathyroid hormone]]. Rx: 80 micrograms SQ daily. Lifetime treatment limit of all parathyroid analogs total: 2 years [[Abaloparatide]] increases [[bone formation]] for treating established [[osteoporosis]]. Initial treatment with abaloparatide may result in greater [[vertebral fracture]] reduction compared with [[alendronate]] in postmenopausal women with [[osteoporosis]] ((Leder BZ, Mitlak B, Hu MY, Hattersley G, Bockman RS. Effect of Abaloparatide Versus Alendronate on Fracture Risk Reduction in Postmenopausal Women With Osteoporosis. J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2019 Nov 1. pii: dgz162. doi: 10.1210/clinem/dgz162. [Epub ahead of print] PubMed PMID: 31674644. )). ---- Sequential therapy using ABL/[[alendronate]] (ALN) may be cost [[effective]] compared with generic ALN monotherapy in US men aged ≥ 50 years at high fracture risk, especially in those aged ≥ 60 years. Unbranded teriparatide (TPTD)/ALN and no treatment were dominated interventions (less QALY, more costs) compared with ABL/ALN or ALN monotherapy ((Hiligsmann M, Silverman SS, Singer AJ, Pearman L, Mathew J, Wang Y, Caminis J, Reginster JY. Cost-Effectiveness of Sequential Abaloparatide/Alendronate in Men at High Risk of Fractures in the United States. Pharmacoeconomics. 2023 Apr 22. doi: 10.1007/s40273-023-01270-x. Epub ahead of print.
