My mom's been dealing with low bone density and has a high risk of fractures due to osteoporosis. We've talked to two doctors; one mentioned trying Forteo and the other suggested Terifrac. I'm trying to figure out if there's any difference between these two injections, and which one might be the better choice. She's been on Terifrac for six months now, and I'm wondering if we should stick with it or switch to Forteo. Any advice?

I'm really thinking about those testosterone tablets I saw from well-known brands like Cipla. Here's the thing, I'm dealing with obesity and my height's not ideal, plus I've been having some ED issues. It's tempting to think these pills could turn things around for me, you know, make me stronger with great muscles and increase my sex drive. I've never tried any self-medication before, but the idea of these tablets got me really curious. Do you think they could turn me into a 'superman'? What's the actual purpose of these pills? Could they help my health, or might they just make things worse? I really want to understand what these are all about before I do something potentially harmful. Could you shed some light on this for me?
strongly advise against self-medicating with testosterone tablets, as they can have serious health consequences, particularly for someone with obesity and ED; testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) should only be prescribed by a doctor for medically diagnosed hypogonadism, and not for athletic enhancement or bodybuilding; misusing testosterone can lead to adverse effects like prostate issues, blood clots, liver damage, acne, and mood changes; instead, focus on healthy lifestyle modifications, such as weight loss, exercise, and stress management, which can help improve overall health, ED, and testosterone levels naturally.
