Does teriparatide bone density last after discontinuing?

Apparently most doctors put osteoporosis patients on a different medication to keep the density gains from teriparatide. In a healthy boned person will the density stay or do you need to consolidate the new growth? Theoretically hgh could help consolidate.

I believe they put them on some kind of drug to keep the gains

To preserve bone gains treatment must be followed by an antiresorptive like a bisphosphonate or denosumab
