Evenity worked for me: Why I chose medication for osteoporosis

So I have a question...is this Evenity a lot different than Fosomax and Bonita? I have refused to take those everytime my doctor recommends them because of the horrible side effects which includes FRACTURES! I obviously haven't done my research on Evenity but I will. Thank you for sharing your experience. I will definitely check this out.....but please tell me if you know if the Evenity is a completely different type of osteoporosis treatment than those others.

Hi, @catdogcarrie This video by Michael Lavacot may be helpful to you. He provides a nice introduction to the different osteoporosis medications. https://youtu.be/Z4uXAsnhSaA

This is how it was explained to me. There are basically 2 broad categories of medications. Antiresorptive (slow bone loss) and Anabolic (increase bone formation). Fosamax and Boniva are bisphosphonates which are antiresorptive. Evenity (an anabolic)is a little different as it has a dual effect. It assists bone formation and also slows bone loss.
