Reclast and then a holiday. Now on Evenity to build new bone, with no issues so far. Prolia and Reclast maintain bone. Evenity (and tymlos and Forteo) build new bone, but you have to follow it for a time with one of the other drugs that maintains bone in order to keep what you gained. I am 74, by the way, and have needed to treat my bones for 10 years. My only lingering side effects were from monthly from which I had bad reflux. As a singer, that didn’t work for me, though it helped my bones! Prolia did same thing with only two doses per year and no issues. Best to you. My Medicare B and supplement G cover the total cost of Evenity, which I receive in the office, but my D would only cover a portion of Tymlos or Forteo and it is a daily, instead of monthly injection, and for 24 months instead of 12.
