Are you ready to add to the bone?

Start now and keep rebuilding bone for up to 18 months

When you have osteoporosis, which treatment you take first can make a real difference in how much bone you can maintain over time, as well as how much new bone you can rebuild. Talk to your doctor to see which treatment is right for you.

*An 18-month study of daily TYMLOS administration in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis at high risk for fracture and a 12-month study of daily TYMLOS administration in men with osteoporosis at high risk for fracture showed an increase in the bone formation marker and, to a lesser extent, the bone resorption marker.

Before you take TYMLOS, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you:
  • have Paget’s disease of the bone or other bone disease.
  • have or have had any of the following: cancer in your bones; radiation therapy involving your bones; too much calcium in your blood; or an increase in your parathyroid hormone (hyperparathyroidism).

Your healthcare provider may check your blood calcium before you start and during your treatment with TYMLOS. Tell your healthcare provider if you have nausea, vomiting, constipation, low energy, or muscle weakness. These may be signs there is too much calcium in your blood.
  • Increased urine calcium (hypercalciuria). TYMLOS can cause some people to have higher levels of calcium in their urine than normal.
