Need Advice - What drug to Follow Up Evenity

I finally got the DXA results:
Right hip -2.2
Left hip -1.5
Lumbar spine -1.9

Impression: Severe osteopenia of the right hip, as well as moderate osteopenia of the left hip and lumbar spine.

Old DXA
Right hip -3.1
Left hip -3.0
Lumbar spine -2.5

The rheumatologist ordered Prolia. After my appointment, I had a few follow-up questions, because I was having second thoughts about taking Prolia. I asked the doctor’s assistant to relay questions and add CTX and P1NP to the blood text order. The assistant never got back to me. He doesn’t return calls. I’m frustrated. I would love your opinion.

Hi @prehorselover - Sorry for the delay.

It looks like you had really good results on Evenity, especially in the hip area. Based on the main Evenity trial that was followed by alendronate, I would start alendronate (Fosamax) ASAP. Get another DXA scan in two years and maybe you can take a break from drugs for a couple of years.

I would not transition to Prolia as you really don't need it in my opinion.

You're looking good! Mike
