I've got a 10mm stone in my right kidney and it's been causing me some on-and-off pain on the right side of my stomach. I'm really concerned about it and was wondering if you could share some advice or insights on what I should do or expect. It's been quite uncomfortable, and Im just trying to figure out the best way forward.

Forteo and Terifrac are essentially the same medication, teriparatide, used to treat osteoporosis. The difference lies in the manufacturer:

Forteo: Eli Lilly and Company

Terifrac: Sun Pharmaceutical Industries

Since your mother has used Terifrac for 6 months, it's likely okay to continue. However, consult her doctor to:

Assess progress

Determine if switching to Forteo is necessary

Discuss potential side effects and long-term treatment plans

Typically, teriparatide treatment is limited to 24 months.
