I understood from talking to the Evenity patient support person, that it acts as an anabolic the first 4 months and then more like Prolia?

njhornung, there is no doubt that the Amgen drugs both add bone. And since our doctors pick up the language of the pharmaceutical advertisements, both Prolia and Evenity will be labeled anabolic, inconsistent with their primary mechanisms of action, though more aligned, perhaps, with the etymology of the word anabolic. Thanks to you and leslie I yield the term as meaning "to throw up" rather than "to build." The term PTH-bone isn't revelatory without being familiar with the action of parathyroid hormone. But, it will do for now.
