Why two NDCs? The FDA registers this code as 70539-001-98 — a 5-3-2 layout, and that's what's printed on the package and shown on DailyMed. For insurance claims, every NDC is standardized to a uniform 11-digit 5-4-2 format by adding a zero to the product segment → 70539-0001-98. Same drug, same package — only the format differs.

Pricing

A drug doesn't have one price. Each row is a different public payment system, and none is what you'd pay at the counter — that depends on your insurance. The ⓘ on each row explains what it measures.

Retail pharmacies payNADAC · weekly Not in the retail survey — common for institutional, discontinued, or low-volume packs.

Where does this data come from?
NADAC (National Average Drug Acquisition Cost) is the CMS weekly pharmacy-acquisition-cost survey — what pharmacies pay. ASP (Average Sales Price) is the CMS Medicare Part B drug-payment file, published quarterly. Medicaid pays is computed by us from CMS State Drug Utilization Data (total reimbursed ÷ units, trailing 12 months) — gross of rebates and inclusive of dispensing fees, so it reflects what Medicaid paid, not an acquisition cost. Medicare drug plans pay is the median negotiated point-of-sale unit cost across plans listing this NDC in the CMS quarterly Prescription Drug Plan pricing files, before rebates. The VA pays is the federal contract price (FSS, and the statutory Big 4 ceiling where listed) from the VA National Acquisition Center pharmaceutical price file. All are free public government data; each measures a different payer, so the figures are not directly comparable.

🔒No FDA-approved generic found

We did not find an FDA-approved generic match for this exact strength, form and route. Patent/protection dates below may affect future generic timing.

🛡️ Latest patent/protection date listed: FDA patent/protection data lists protections through Jan 2040. This may affect when a full generic version becomes widely available, but it is not a guaranteed launch date.
📅 FDA approved Apr 28, 2017 RLD RS ⏳ ~13.3 yr to latest listed protection

Why the date isn’t exact: Generic timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added, removed, or worked around with a narrower label — and FDA approval does not always mean a pharmacy can get the generic today.

When could a generic Tymlos arrive?

Our estimate: April 2038 about 11.5 years away

How sure: Likely. Firm enough to plan around, but a court ruling or a new deal could still move it.

Why then: A patent that protects the brand runs out. After that, approved generics can be sold.

That is before the January 2040 date above, which is common: a court ruling or a deal with the brand’s maker often lets a generic in before the last patent runs out.

LOE
Expected generic
Substance patent Formulation patent Method-of-use patent Exclusivity Pediatric +6mo
🏛️FDA exclusivity
FDA-granted marketing protection. It’s separate from patents and may be shorter than patent protection.
🧪Product / substance patents
Patents covering the active ingredient, product, formulation, or related drug features.
🎯Method-of-use patents
Patents covering specific approved uses. These can sometimes be carved out with a “skinny label,” but not always.
🛈 What do these terms mean?
Patent
Legal protection listed in the Orange Book that may delay generic approval or launch. Issued by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.
Substance patent
Covers the active drug molecule itself — the hardest to design around. A generic generally can’t launch until it expires.
Formulation (product) patent
Covers a specific formulation or dosage form. A generic can sometimes work around it with a different formulation.
Method-of-use patent
A patent covering one specific approved use of the drug — not necessarily the whole molecule. A generic can sometimes launch with a “skinny label” that carves out the protected use and keeps the others.
Skinny label
A generic label that omits a still-patented use when the FDA allows it — letting a generic reach the market for the unprotected uses.
Exclusivity
FDA-granted marketing protection, separate from patents — e.g. 5-yr new chemical entity, 7-yr orphan drug, or a +6-month pediatric extension.
Paragraph IV
A generic applicant’s formal challenge to a listed patent. It can potentially lead to earlier generic entry, but often involves litigation or a settlement.
RLD / RS
Reference Listed Drug — the brand product the FDA uses as the reference for generic applications. Reference Standard — the product the FDA expects generics to compare against in bioequivalence testing.
TE / AB rating
FDA therapeutic-equivalence rating. An AB rating generally means the FDA considers a generic therapeutically equivalent to — and substitutable for — the brand.
LOE (loss of exclusivity)
The latest patent or exclusivity currently listed — the loss-of-exclusivity / latest-listed-protection date shown on this page. Paragraph-IV challenges and settlements can move the real date earlier; FDA approval and a manufacturer’s decision to market can move it later.

Built from the FDA Orange Book. The bars above are scaled to each protection’s expiry; the red LOE marker is the last one to lapse.

Common questions
Is there a generic version of TYMLOS 80 MCG DOSE PEN INJECTR?
No FDA-approved generic equivalent is currently listed in the FDA Orange Book for TYMLOS 80 MCG DOSE PEN INJECTR. Based on the patents and exclusivity currently listed, the Orange Book estimate is that full-label generic entry may be delayed until Jan 2040 — an estimate, not a guaranteed launch date. We expect the first generic Tymlos in April 2038, about 11.5 years away. See the forecast.
The FDA approved a generic — why can’t I get it at my pharmacy yet?
FDA approval and pharmacy availability are two different things. The FDA can approve a generic years before it actually reaches pharmacies, because the brand company may still hold patents or have a settlement that delays the launch. A manufacturer also has to choose to make and sell it, and have supply ready. So a drug can be “FDA-approved generic exists” and still be brand-only at the counter today.
Why do different websites show different generic release dates?
Generic availability is not based on one single date. Some sources use the first exclusivity expiration, some use the last product patent, and others use the latest method-of-use patent. Patent challenges, settlements, licenses, and label carve-outs can also change the real-world launch date. This page shows the underlying Orange Book dates so you can see why estimates may differ.
What does “FDA listed” mean?
It means the product appears in the FDA’s official NDC directory. That’s a good sign a product exists and is intended for the U.S. market, but on its own it does not confirm a pharmacy can fill it today. Where we have recent retail pricing data (NADAC) for a product, we label it “Availability likely” instead.
What does a patent or protection date mean here?
It’s the latest date currently listed in the FDA Orange Book for a patent or exclusivity on the brand product. It can affect when a full generic version becomes widely available — but it is not a guaranteed generic launch date. Generics sometimes arrive earlier (through a settlement or patent challenge) or later (a manufacturer still has to make and sell one).
What does “current Orange Book estimate” mean?
It means we are using the latest patent and exclusivity dates currently listed in the FDA Orange Book. It is not a guaranteed launch date.
Can a generic come out before the last patent expires?
Sometimes. A generic company may challenge a patent, settle with the brand manufacturer, receive a license, or obtain approval with a narrower label that avoids a patented use. In other cases, the last listed protection may delay full-label generic competition.
Can a generic come out after the listed dates?
Yes. Even after patents or exclusivity expire, a generic still needs FDA approval and a manufacturer must choose to market it. Supply, litigation, business decisions, or regulatory issues can delay actual availability.
What is the difference between patents and exclusivity?
Patents are legal protections usually issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. FDA exclusivity is marketing protection granted by the FDA. They are separate, and either one can affect generic timing.
Why are there multiple patent dates?
One drug can have several patents covering different things: the active ingredient, a formulation, a manufacturing process, or a specific approved use. That is why a page may show several expiration dates instead of one simple generic date.
Built from FDA Orange Book patent and exclusivity data. Dates are refreshed from public FDA data when available; the marker is max(latest patent expiry, latest exclusivity expiry). Paragraph-IV settlements and first-filer 180-day exclusivity can shift the real date; a method-of-use patent may allow an earlier skinny-label generic for non-protected indications. Generic launch timing is an estimate, not a guarantee.
Where does this data come from?
Patents and exclusivity from the FDA Orange Book (small-molecule drugs), refreshed from public FDA data. Generic launch timing is an estimate, not a guarantee.

Inactive ingredient FAQ

Are inactive ingredients the same for every manufacturer?
No. Inactive ingredients can differ by manufacturer, dosage form, strength, and package / product version.
Why might an inactive ingredient be missing?
Some SPLs do not provide a complete structured inactive-ingredient list, and older or unusual labels may only include the information in narrative text.
Can inactive ingredients matter?
Yes. They can matter for allergies, intolerances, dyes, gluten / lactose concerns, preservatives, and formulation differences — but confirm with a pharmacist or the manufacturer when it’s clinically important.

⛔ Contraindications 58 words ▾

4 CONTRAINDICATIONS TYMLOS is contraindicated in patients with a history of severe hypersensitivity to abaloparatide or any of the inactive ingredients of TYMLOS. Reactions have included anaphylaxis, angioedema, dyspnea, and urticaria [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) , Adverse Reactions ( 6.2 )] . Severe hypersensitivity to abaloparatide or any of the inactive ingredients of TYMLOS. ( 4 )

⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ~3 min read ▾

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hypersensitivity Reactions: Anaphylaxis, angioedema, and urticaria have been reported in patients treated with parathyroid hormone analogs, including TYMLOS. If signs or symptoms of a hypersensitivity reaction occur, discontinue treatment with TYMLOS, initiate supportive care, and monitor until signs or symptoms resolve. Discontinue TYMLOS permanently in patients with a severe hypersensitivity reaction to TYMLOS.

( 5.1 ) Osteosarcoma: Avoid use in patients with increased risk of osteosarcoma including patients with open epiphyses, metabolic bone diseases including Paget's disease, bone metastases or history of skeletal malignancies, prior external beam or implant radiation therapy involving the skeleton, and hereditary disorders predisposing to osteosarcoma. ( 5.2 ) Orthostatic Hypotension: Instruct patients to sit or lie down if symptoms develop after dose administration. ( 5.3 ) Hypercalcemia: Avoid use in patients with pre-existing hypercalcemia and those known to have an underlying hypercalcemic disorder, such as primary hyperparathyroidism.

( 5.4 ) Hypercalciuria and Urolithiasis: Monitor urine calcium if pre-existing hypercalciuria or active urolithiasis are suspected. ( 5.5 )

5.1Hypersensitivity Reactions Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, angioedema, and urticaria have been reported in patients treated with parathyroid hormone (PTH) analogs, including TYMLOS [see Adverse Reactions (6.2) ] . If signs or symptoms of a hypersensitivity reaction occur, discontinue treatment with TYMLOS, initiate appropriate supportive care, and monitor until signs and symptoms resolve. Discontinue TYMLOS permanently in patients with a severe hypersensitivity reaction to TYMLOS .

TYMLOS is contraindicated in patients with a history of severe hypersensitivity to abaloparatide or any of the inactive ingredients of TYMLOS [ see Contraindications (4) ].

5.2Risk of Osteosarcoma Abaloparatide caused a dose-dependent increase in the incidence of osteosarcoma in male and female rats after subcutaneous administration at exposures 4 to 28 times the human exposure at the clinical dose of 80 mcg [see Nonclinical Toxicology ( 13.1 )] . It is unknown whether TYMLOS will cause osteosarcoma in humans. Osteosarcoma has been reported in patients treated with a PTH-analog in the post marketing setting; however, an increased risk of osteosarcoma has not been observed in observational studies in humans.

There are limited data assessing the risk of osteosarcoma beyond 2 years of TYMLOS and/or use of a PTH-analog [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 ) and Nonclinical Toxicology ( 13.1 )] . Avoid TYMLOS use in patients with (these patients are at increased baseline risk of osteosarcoma): Open epiphyses (pediatric and young adult patients) (TYMLOS is not approved in pediatric patients) [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.4 )] . Metabolic bone diseases other than osteoporosis, including Paget's disease of the bone.

Bone metastases or a history of skeletal malignancies. Prior external beam or implant radiation therapy involving the skeleton. Hereditary disorders predisposing to osteosarcoma.

5.3Orthostatic Hypotension Orthostatic hypotension may occur with TYMLOS, typically within 4 hours of injection. Associated symptoms may include dizziness, palpitations, tachycardia, or nausea, and may resolve by having the patient lie down. For the first several doses, TYMLOS should be administered where the patient can sit or lie down if necessary [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] .

5.4Hypercalcemia TYMLOS may cause hypercalcemia. TYMLOS is not recommended in patients with pre-existing hypercalcemia or in patients who have an underlying hypercalcemic disorder, such as primary hyperparathyroidism, because of the possibility of exacerbating hypercalcemia [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] .

5.5Hypercalciuria and Urolithiasis TYMLOS may cause hypercalciuria. It is unknown whether TYMLOS may exacerbate urolithiasis in patients with active… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical studies are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical studies of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical studies of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Adverse Reactions from Clinical Trial in Postmenopausal Women with Osteoporosis The safety of TYMLOS was evaluated in a randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis aged 49 to 86 years (mean age 69 years) who were randomized to receive 80 mcg of TYMLOS (N = 824) or placebo (N = 821), given subcutaneously once daily for 18 months [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )] .

In this study, the incidence of all-cause mortality was 0.4% in the TYMLOS group and 0.6% in the placebo group. The incidence of serious adverse events was 10% in the TYMLOS group and 11% in the placebo group. The percentage of patients who discontinued study drug due to adverse events was 10% in the TYMLOS group and 6% in the placebo group.

The most common adverse reactions leading to study drug discontinuation in the TYMLOS group were nausea (2%), dizziness (1%), headache (1%), and palpitations (1%). Table 1 shows the most common adverse reactions in the trial. These adverse reactions were generally not present at baseline, occurred more commonly with TYMLOS than with placebo, and occurred in at least 2% of the patients treated with TYMLOS.

At later time points the incidence was generally similar between the treatment groups. Adverse reactions of orthostatic hypotension were reported in 1% of patients receiving TYMLOS and 0.5% of patients receiving placebo.

Dizziness was reported by more TYMLOS-treated patients (10%) compared to placebo (6%) [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] . Tachycardia In women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, adverse reactions of tachycardia, including sinus tachycardia, were reported in 2% of patients receiving TYMLOS and 1% of patients in the placebo group. In 5 of the 13 patients receiving TYMLOS who experienced tachycardia, symptoms occurred within 1 hour of administration.

TYMLOS has been associated with a dose-dependent increase in heart rate which developed within 15 minutes after injection and resolved in about 6 hours [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.2 )] . Injection Site Reactions Duri… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

👥 Use in Specific Populations ~1 min read ▾

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary TYMLOS is not indicated for use in females of reproductive potential. There are no human data with TYMLOS use in pregnant women to inform any drug associated risks. Animal reproduction studies with abaloparatide have not been conducted.

8.2Lactation Risk Summary TYMLOS is not indicated for use in females of reproductive potential. There is no information on the presence of abaloparatide in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production.

8.4Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness of TYMLOS have not been established in pediatric patients. TYMLOS is not recommended for use in pediatric patients with open epiphyses or hereditary disorders predisposing to osteosarcoma because of an increased baseline risk of osteosarcoma [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] .

8.5Geriatric Use Of the total number of patients in the postmenopausal osteoporosis clinical studies of TYMLOS, 82% were age 65 years and over, and 19% were age 75 years and over. In the male osteoporosis study, 74% were age 65 years and over and 23% were age 75 years or over. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these subjects and younger subjects, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out.

8.6Renal Impairment No dosage adjustment is required for patients with mild, moderate, or severe renal impairment. A study of a single dose of TYMLOS 80 mcg given subcutaneously was conducted in subjects with normal renal function or mild, moderate, or severe renal impairment. The maximal concentration (C max ) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of abaloparatide increased 1.4- and 2.1-fold, respectively, in subjects with severe renal impairment, compared to subjects with normal renal function.

Patients with severe renal impairment may have increased abaloparatide exposure that may increase the risk of adverse reactions; therefore, monitor for adverse reactions [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .

🆘 Overdosage 131 words ▾

10 OVERDOSAGE In a clinical study, accidental overdose was reported in a patient who received 400 mcg in one day (5 times the recommended clinical dose); dosing was temporarily interrupted. The patient experienced asthenia, headache, nausea, and vertigo. Serum calcium was not assessed on the day of the overdose, but on the following day the patient's serum calcium was within the normal range.

The effects of overdose may include hypercalcemia, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, tachycardia, orthostatic hypotension, and headache. Overdos age Management There is no specific antidote for TYMLOS. Treatment of suspected overdose should include discontinuation of TYMLOS, monitoring of serum calcium and phosphorus, and implementation of appropriate supportive measures, such as hydration.

Based on the molecular weight, plasma protein binding and volume of distribution, abaloparatide is not expected to be dialyzable.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1Mechanism of Action Abaloparatide is a PTHrP(1-34) analog which acts as an agonist at the PTH1 receptor (PTH1R). This results in activation of the cAMP signaling pathway in target cells. Once-daily administration of abaloparatide stimulates new bone formation on trabecular and cortical bone surfaces by stimulation of osteoblastic activity.

In rats and monkeys, abaloparatide had an anabolic effect on bone, demonstrated by increases in BMD and bone mineral content (BMC) that correlated with increases in bone strength at vertebral and/or nonvertebral sites [see Nonclinical Toxicology ( 13.2 )] .

12.2Pharmacodynamics Effects on Markers of Bone Turnover A dose-finding study of abaloparatide administered once daily for 24 weeks in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis demonstrated a dose-response relationship for BMD and bone formation markers. Daily administration of TYMLOS to postmenopausal women with osteoporosis for 18 months increased the bone formation marker serum procollagen type I N-propeptide (sPINP) and the bone resorption marker serum collagen type I cross-linked C-telopeptide (sCTX). The increase in geometric mean sPINP levels peaked at Month 1 at 93% above baseline in postmenopausal women then decreased slowly over time to 45% above baseline at Month 18.

The increase in geometric mean sCTX levels in postmenopausal women peaked at Month 3 at 26% above baseline then decreased to baseline levels by Month 18. Daily administration of TYMLOS to men with osteoporosis for 12 months increased the bone formation marker sPINP and the bone resorption marker sCTX. The increase in geometric mean sPINP levels peaked at Month 1 at 133% above baseline in men then decreased slowly over time to 84% above baseline at Month 12.

The increase in geometric mean sCTX levels in men peaked at Month 6 at 46% above baseline and was 35% above baseline by Month 12. Cardiac Electrophysiology A 4-way cross-over thorough QT/QTc study was conducted in 55 healthy subjects who received single doses of placebo, subcutaneous doses of abaloparatide at 80 mcg and 240 mcg (three times the recommended dose), and moxifloxacin 400 mg orally. Abaloparatide increased heart rate, with a mean peak increase of 15 beats per minute (bpm) and 20 bpm at the first time point (15 minutes) after dosing with 80 mcg and 240 mcg, respectively.

There were no clinically meaningful effects of abaloparatide on QTcI (individually corrected QT intervals) or cardiac electrophysiology.

12.3Pharmacokinetics Following seven days of subcutaneous administration of abaloparatide 80 mcg, the mean (SD) abaloparatide exposure was 812 (118) pg/mL for C max and 1622 (641) pg∙hr/mL for AUC 0–24 in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. Absorption The median (range) time to peak concentration of abaloparatide 80 mcg was 0.51 hr (0.25 to 0.52 hr) following subcutaneous administration. The absolute bioavailability of abaloparatide in healthy women after subcutaneous administration of an 80 mcg dose was 36%.

Distribution The in vitro plasma protein binding of abaloparatide was approximately 70%. The volume of distribution was approximately 50 L. Elimination Excretion The mean (SD) half-life of abaloparatide is approximately 1 h.

The peptide fragments are primarily eliminated through renal excretion. Metabolism No specific metabolism or excretion studies have been performed with TYMLOS. The metabolism of abaloparatide is consistent with non-specific proteolytic degradation into smaller peptide fragments, followed by elimination by renal clearance.

Specific Populations Male and Female Subjects Mean serum abaloparatide concentration-time profiles observed in a study conducted in healthy men with a mean (±SD) age of 53.1 (±6.9) years were comparable to those observed in the healthy women with a mean (±SD) age of 53.7 (±7.1) years using the same dosing regimen.

TYMLOS may cause serious side effects including: Allergic (hypersensitivity) reactions, including anaphylaxis. Stop taking TYMLOS and get medical help right away if you have any of the following symptoms of an allergic reaction: swelling of your face, lips, mouth, or tongue breathing problems fainting, dizziness, feeling lightheaded (low blood pressure) fast heartbeat itching rash hives Possible bone cancer (osteosarcoma).

During animal drug testing, the medicine in TYMLOS caused some rats to develop a bone cancer called osteosarcoma. It is not known if people who take TYMLOS will have a higher chance of getting osteosarcoma. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you have pain in your bones, pain in any areas of your body that does not go away, or any new or unusual lumps or swelling under your skin that is tender to touch.

What is TYMLOS? TYMLOS is a prescription medicine used to: treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women who are at high risk for bone fracture, or who cannot use another osteoporosis treatment or other osteoporosis treatments did not work well. TYMLOS can decrease the chance of having a fracture of the spine and other bones in postmenopausal women with thinning and weakening bones (osteoporosis) increase bone density in men with osteoporosis who are at high risk for bone fracture, or who cannot use another osteoporosis treatment or other osteoporosis treatments did not work well It is not known if TYMLOS is safe and effective for children 18 years and younger.

TYMLOS should not be used in children and young adults whose bones are still growing. It is not recommended that people use TYMLOS for more than 2 years during their lifetime. Do not take TYMLOS: if you have had a severe allergic reaction to abaloparatide, or any of the other ingredients in TYMLOS.

Ask your healthcare provider if you are not sure. See the end of this Medication Guide for a complete list of ingredients in TYMLOS. 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 cancer in your bones. have or have had radiation therapy involving your bones. have or have had too much calcium in your blood. have or have had an increase in your parathyroid hormone (hyperparathyroidism). will have trouble injecting yourself with the TYMLOS pen and do not have someone who can help you. are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.

TYMLOS is not for pregnant women. are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if TYMLOS passes into your breast milk. You and your healthcare provider should decide if you will take TYMLOS or breastfeed.

14 CLINICAL STUDIES

14.1Efficacy Study in Women with Postmenopausal Osteoporosis The efficacy of TYMLOS for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis was evaluated in Study 003 (NCT 01343004), an 18-month, randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial in postmenopausal women aged 49 to 86 years (mean age of 69) who were randomized to receive TYMLOS 80 mcg (N = 824) or placebo (N = 821) given subcutaneously once daily. Approximately 80% of patients were Caucasian, 16% were Asian, and 3% were Black; 24% were Hispanic.

At baseline, the mean T-scores were -2.9 at the lumbar spine, -2.1 at the femoral neck, and -1.9 at the total hip. At baseline, 24% of patients had at least one prevalent vertebral fracture and 48% had at least one prior nonvertebral fracture. Patients took daily supplemental calcium (500 to 1000 mg) and vitamin D (400 to 800 IU).

The efficacy study was extended as Study 005 (NCT 01657162), an open-label study where patients were no longer receiving TYMLOS or placebo but were maintained in their original randomized treatment group and received 70 mg alendronate weekly, with calcium and vitamin D supplements for 6 months. Study 005 enrolled 1139 patients, representing 92% of patients who completed Study 003. This included 558 patients who had previously received TYMLOS and 581 patients who had previously received placebo.

The cumulative 25-month efficacy dataset included 18 months of exposure to TYMLOS or placebo in Study 003, 1 month of no treatment, followed by 6 months of alendronate therapy in Study 005. Study 005 was then continued to complete 18 months of additional alendronate exposure during which time patients were no longer blinded to their original Study 003 treatment group. Effect on New Vertebral Fractures The primary endpoint was the incidence of new vertebral fractures in patients treated with TYMLOS compared to placebo.

TYMLOS resulted in a significant reduction in the incidence of new vertebral fractures compared to placebo at 18 months (0.6% TYMLOS compared to 4.2% placebo, p <0.0001). The absolute risk reduction in new vertebral fractures was 3.6% at 18 months and the relative risk reduction was 86% for TYMLOS compared to placebo ( Table 3 ). The incidence of new vertebral fractures at 25 months was 0.6% in patients treated with TYMLOS then alendronate, compared to 4.4% in patients treated with placebo then alendronate (p <0.0001).

The relative risk reduction in new vertebral fractures at 25 months was 87% for patients treated with TYMLOS then alendronate, compared to patients treated with placebo then alendronate, and the absolute risk reduction was 3.9% ( Table 3 ). After 24 months of open-label alendronate therapy, the vertebral fracture risk reduction achieved with TYMLOS therapy was maintained.

13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

13.1Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Carcinogenesis In a 2-year carcinogenicity study, abaloparatide was administered once daily to male and female Fischer rats by subcutaneous injection at doses of 10, 25, and 50 mcg/kg. These doses resulted in systemic exposures to abaloparatide that were 4, 16, and 28 times, respectively, the systemic exposure observed in humans following the recommended subcutaneous dose of 80 mcg (based on AUC comparisons). Neoplastic changes related to treatment with abaloparatide consisted of marked dose-dependent increases in osteosarcoma and osteoblastoma incidence in all male and female dose groups.

The incidence of osteosarcoma was 0-2% in untreated controls and reached 87% and 62% in male and female high-dose groups, respectively. The bone neoplasms were accompanied by marked increases in bone mass. The relevance of the rat findings to humans is uncertain.

The use of TYMLOS is not recommended in patients at increased risk of osteosarcoma [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] . Mutagenesis Abaloparatide was not genotoxic or mutagenic in a standard battery of tests including the Ames test for bacterial mutagenesis, the chromosome aberration test using human peripheral lymphocytes, and the mouse micronucleus test. Impairment of Fertility Abaloparatide effects on female fertility have not been assessed nonclinically.

No adverse effects of abaloparatide on male fertility were observed in male rats. In a male rat fertility study, abaloparatide was administered via subcutaneous injection 2 weeks prior to mating, through the mating period and for approximately 2 weeks after the mating period (for total of 6 weeks) at doses of 10, 25 and 70 µg/kg/day. Abaloparatide did not cause adverse effect on mating, fertility indices, conception rate, reproductive organ weights or sperm parameters up to 70 µg/kg/day (28-fold the systemic exposure observed in humans following the recommended subcutaneous dose of 80 mcg (based on AUC comparisons).

13.2Animal Toxicology and Pharmacology In toxicity studies in rats and monkeys of up to 26-week and 39-week duration, respectively, findings included vasodilation, increases in serum calcium, decreases in serum phosphorus, and soft tissue mineralization at doses ≥10 mcg/kg/day. The 10 mcg/kg/day dose resulted in systemic exposures to abaloparatide in rats and monkeys that were 2 and 3 times, respectively, the exposure in humans at daily subcutaneous doses of 80 mcg. Pharmacologic effects of abaloparatide on the skeleton were assessed in 12- and 16-month studies in ovariectomized (OVX) rats and monkeys, at doses up to 11- and 1-times human exposure at the recommended subcutaneous dose of 80 mcg, respectively (based on AUC comparisons).

In these animal models of postmenopausal osteoporosis, treatment with abaloparatide resulted in dose-dependent increases in bone mass at vertebral and/or nonvertebral sites, correlating with increases in bone strength. The anabolic effect of abaloparatide was due to the predominant increase in osteoblastic bone formation and was evidenced by increases in trabecular thickness and/or cortical thickness due to endosteal bone apposition. Abaloparatide maintained or improved bone quality at all skeletal sites evaluated and did not cause any mineralization defects.

In an 8-week study in androgen-deficient orchiectomized (ORX) male rats, a male osteoporosis model, the effects of 5 and 25 mcg/kg/day abaloparatide (≥47-fold clinical exposures by AUC) were examined on bone formation, bone mass, and bone strength. Abaloparatide induced bone formation and improved cortical and trabecular BMD, geometry, and architecture without increasing parameters of bone resorption.

13.1Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Carcinogenesis In a 2-year carcinogenicity study, abaloparatide was administered once daily to male and female Fischer rats by subcutaneous injection at doses of 10, 25, and 50 mcg/kg. These doses resulted in systemic exposures to abaloparatide that were 4, 16, and 28 times, respectively, the systemic exposure observed in humans following the recommended subcutaneous dose of 80 mcg (based on AUC comparisons).

Medicare Part D spend CMS · PART D · 2026 (Q1)

Medicare Part D (outpatient prescription) spending for Tymlos — the program that covers self-administered drugs. 1 manufacturer.
⚠️ Drug-level data: CMS publishes Part D spending by drug, not by NDC — these figures combine every manufacturer, strength and package size sold under the name Tymlos. That’s a different level of aggregation than the Medicaid card above, which is specific to this exact 11-digit NDC (pack size included), so the two aren’t directly comparable.

💵 About the dollar figures: spending is what Part D plans paid before confidential manufacturer rebates, so the program’s real net cost is lower. A blank patient count means fewer than 11 people — CMS hides counts that small to protect privacy. Source: CMS Medicare Quarterly Part D Spending by Drug (data.cms.gov), updated quarterly.

Questions about this listing

Why is there no price listed?
The pricing shown on our NDC pages comes from CMS NADAC, a voluntary survey of retail community pharmacy invoices. CMS does not publish a NADAC for every NDC — packages outside the retail survey (institutional and hospital products, bulk packages, discontinued items, and many OTC items) may never receive one. A missing price reflects the survey's scope, not this product's actual cost, and does not mean the product is free or unavailable.
Is the NDC printed on the package the same as the 11-digit billing NDC?
Yes, they identify this exact package in different formats. The form printed on the packaging and shown on DailyMed is the one the FDA registered. Insurance claims use a fixed 11-digit 5-4-2 format, so the short segment is padded with a leading zero and the dashes are dropped. The Identity section at the top of this page lists each form of this code.
Is this package still being marketed?
Yes, per the latest FDA NDC Directory data on this page: this package is listed as actively marketed, with no marketing end date reported by Radius Health, Inc.. Listing status can change — the directory data on this page refreshes weekly.
Does this product come in other package sizes?
Yes — the FDA directory lists 1 other package presentation of this same product, including 1 cartridge (70539-0001-02). Each has its own NDC and its own page — see the package list near the top of this page.
Who lists this product with the FDA?
Radius Health, Inc. is the labeler of record for this NDC — the company under whose FDA-assigned code the package is listed. The labeler may be the manufacturer itself or a distributor marketing the product under its own code.
Do I need a prescription for this product?
This NDC is listed with FDA as a prescription product, so it is dispensed under a prescriber's order. Your pharmacist can tell you whether any over-the-counter forms of the same medication exist.
This page identifies an FDA-listed package (the NDC) and reports public regulatory and pricing data about the listing. It is reference information, not a medical recommendation — talk to your pharmacist or prescriber about your own medication.
Where does this data come from?
Listing facts (marketing category, packager status, marketing dates) from the FDA openFDA NDC Directory; label availability from DailyMed; pricing coverage from CMS NADAC; equivalence scope from the FDA Orange Book.
For educational and professional reference only — not medical advice. Pricing reflects published NADAC and CMS ASP (free public data) and may differ from your acquisition cost; always verify before billing or dispensing.
