I think your information is incorrect regarding Evenity. This is my rheumatologist’s drug of choice. Read this for more info regarding Evenity

There is later information on Evenity. But you made me think about why I think later information is more accurate than earlier information. When medications are first approved, mechanisms of action are not fully understood. Information on the internet persists even after evidence to the contrary. As this is your rheumatologist's drug of choice they are no doubt aware of current research. You might ask about the theory that Evenity is essentially anabolic only for the first three months and largely antiresorptive thereafter. Some of the osteoporosis doc are advising a three month script for Evenity.
If, as is thought, Evenity by blocking the sclerostin pathway allows plaque to accumulate in the valves, the consequences of that won't be evidenced for many years.
