Bone building drugs for osteopenia

sue417,
you may be safe taking Evenity. It started with a black box warning about taking it within five years of stroke. The warning was commonly countered by the fact that the implicating trial compared with alendronate which may be cardio protective. Additional caution was added more recently after another clinical trial.

Many here are taking Tymlos at a lower initial dose.
I'm in the US (political apologies, I didn't vote for the guy and feel quite embarrassed).
Starting at one or two clicks can give your body time to adjust lessening side effects. But some patients stay at the highest comfortable dose, which isn't always the eight clicks of a single dose.
I love that Canada is paying 100% for Tymlos, which I consider a miracle drug.

Hi
Thank you for that information.So I definitely do not want to take a evenity. I had a tia five years ago. It sounds like forteo would be a better option for me. Although i am not excited about giving Myself a shot everyday.
Tymlos was not offered to me

Sorry it's not tymlos they pay for it's Forteo . So many names I get confused
