@elizabeth007 it is helpful to read the actual studies. The warning sare about cardiovascular risks with Evenity. One study found no difference between Evenity and placebo in that regard and another study showed a small difference with alendronate, which some articles say may have been due to a small protective factor of alendrontate, according to the studies (ARCH and FRAME). There are other possible effects of Evenity that have not been studied as thoroughly. As always talk to a doctor about personal risks with any medication.

i am aware of the studies. My former endochrinologist gave me summaries of the studies. I have also discussed Eventity with my cardiologist. I’m not familiar with the studies you are citing. The ones that i was informed about showed that Eventity was by far the most effective osteoporosis drug. Every drug has interactions and complications found among a small portion of the population.

I am unfamiliar with the “long term osteoporosis drug planning protocols. Because i have a history of numerous drug adverse reactions, every first time using a drug is a test of whether i can tolerate it. When i had brand name reclast there was such significant improvement i didnt need osteoporosis meds for a few years. Then my endo at the time refused to accept my allergist/immunologist strong recommendation that i have brand name reclast. I had a delayed anaphylactic reaction and reported it to the FDA and went to urgent care. I had been administered a generic manufactured in India. Now my endocrinologist is afraid to give me anything because of my adverse drug potential. i liked Reclast—it made a big improvement in my osteoporosis twice
