How long does Abaloparatide Injection take to work?
Last updated September 6, 2026.
**Abaloparatide injection increases bone formation within the first month, but building bone density takes months of daily treatment.** You usually will not feel it working because it is not a pain reliever. Studies showed increased bone density after 12 months in men and 18 months in women after menopause, with fewer spine fractures in women at 18 months. Your response depends partly on consistent dosing and adequate calcium and vitamin D. Your clinician should set your treatment length and decide when to check your bone density.
What to do
- **Keep a routine:** Inject your prescribed dose at about the same time each day.
- **Avoid extra doses:** Never take more than one dose in a day to make up for a missed injection.
- **Support your bones:** Follow your clinician's advice about calcium and vitamin D supplements if your diet does not provide enough.
- **Track your progress:** Ask your clinician when a bone density scan will help assess your response.
- **Report side effects:** Tell your clinician if dizziness or nausea makes it hard to continue your injections.
