Sue417, your cardiologist should be engaged for the decision.
I think the newer Cardiac warnings on Evenity will ease your choice. Interestingly, the best medication for your bones seems also to be the best for your heart.
Tymlos has no known drug interactions. Your endocrinologist will monitor your calcium levels. You might start Tymlos at a low dose until you see if you have any adverse reaction. You might also consider a slightly different variation with the same active parathyroid hormone 1-34--Forteo because it is a lower dose. Both Tymlos and Forteo hasten healing.

Hi
Forteo is not an option because I have had radiation for breast cancer and it's not one the Dr gave me as an option. I am in canada. Also I have to use extended Healthcare. Evenity and tymlos are the two that are covered 80% by my insurance. Tymlos if I qualify will be 100% covered by the manufacturer. Lots of paperwork to be filled out and sent in. I am having my infusion oc zoledronic acid in June. I used to be able to get it in the town.I live in, but the government has shut down the IV clinic.So now I have to go 1 hour away to get a 30 minute infusion.I am so annoyed. What do you mean
By the cardiac warning on evenity
