Is atrial fibrilation a side effect of taking Forteo?
Hi Dick: I've done a lot of reading on Forteo and I don't remember reading about af and Forteo. Below is the FDA pdf on Forteo with all the side effects listed. The only cv effects they mention is hypertension, angina and syncope. I finished my 2 years on Forteo and didn't have any heart probs with it. I do have some heart probs like hypertension and SVT, but I've had hypertension since my 20's and I'm now 54. I recently developed SVT's but I don't think that has anything to do with Forteo, plus I've been off of it since the beginning of June.
BTW, I did really well on Forteo and went from low bmd (-3.6) to normal in the spine. My hips are now osteopenic.
Good Luck...
