I have a new fractures in my spine. I started Evenity on July 2. My pain doctor wants to put me on Calcitonin. Not sure if this helps to heal fractures faster or help with pain and how it’s interact with Evenity since both drugs are for osteoporosis.Anyone has any experience or been on Calcitonin for osteoporosis ?

@sunny65 I tried calcitonin but I am allergic to salmon. I was told by McCormick that it is weak in terms of increasing bone density. I have read it can help with healing. Can you discuss further with your endocrinologist since it was your pain management doc who recommended it?

Drugs.com says this is a duplication, not an interaction. Dr. Ben Leder on YouTube has a video on YouTube about combining meds, but not these two. I would imagine with Evenity so new there are no studies on this combo because it is not used a lot.

Sympathies on your fracture! Is this your first one?

I was on Calcitonin for about 6 months, and my bone density got worse. Disappointing because I had zero side effects.

Calcitonin has some bone preserving effect but is probably prescribed for you because it helps with bone pain. Both medications reduce calcium levels. You might want your calcium levels monitored. Sunny, so sorry about the fractures.
