I am also curious about the quality of the bone produced by Evenity, for two reasons: 1. You must take another drug, like a bisphosphonate, after Evenity or you lose all your gains. I am curious as to why? That doesn't sound like typical bone to me. I've tried to research this on-line but can't find anything about this. 2. I've read that Evenity doesn't provide much protection against vertebral fractures which makes me wonder if taking the drug is worth the risk of the side effects. (I am in the U.S.).

daisy17, do you remember where you read that Evenity doesn't provide much protection against fracture. Outside of the other cautions, I'm wondering about the bone--the quality of the bone. My understanding is that it is modeled bone rather than remodeled. Meaning that it doesn't allow for clearing away old bone, simply lays down new bone on top of the old. Sort of like replastering or repainting your house without removing the broken, damaged material underneath. In cartoons showing the bone laid down, there isn't any articulation. It is just solid bone. And easy to see why bone mineral density would be increased without reduction of fracture risk. I don't know, but it makes me wonder.
