Anyone taken Evenity (romosozumab) for Osteoporosis?

Posted by arlene7 @arlene7, May 27, 2020

Has anyone taken Evenity? I understand it’s only been on the market for a little over a year. I’m hoping it will help with my severe osteoporosis. Any information is helpful.

If anyone is still reading this thread, I did my 12 injections of Evenity (2023-2024) and built back 6 years of bone loss. My follow up dexascan showed gains in all areas measured. I am following up treatment with 3 years of annual Reclast IV infusions to maintain my gains. Very pleased with Evenity.

I have 2 more injections to go and I am hopeful that I will have great gains . I will start reclast after 1 month of a drug break .

I also had those same symptoms in my 3rd & 4th month but they went away . I have 2 more months to go and then will start reclast after 1 month drug break .

I had my first reclast after the one month break too! Happy to not have to think about things until next year in May! 🙂

My symptoms have gotten worse unfortunately. Why did you decide on Reclast?

As we all know it’s very anxiety producing trying to decide on which med to go on after Evenity . After research and listening to Dr. Doug Lucas , McCormick and my endocrinologist we decided to go with the reclast infusions .

I just had my 12th Evenity injections yesterday. With the 1st injections in my arms, I wondered how I would deal with it for the series of 12 because my arms were so very sore for a week. With the 2nd injections, I switched to having the injections in my abdomen--miracle!!! Absolutely no discomfort, able to continue all my activities, wear jeans and waisted clothes. So months 2-12 I had the injections in my abdomen.
Will have Dexa scan on June 17, then follow up with my osteoporosis dr. on July 11. I'll see what her suggestion is for follow up med. I appreciate all the discussions about Prolia and Reclast. I have 2 friends on Prolia who are having no problems at all.
