I’ve been using Raloxifene for almost a year now. No side effects except occasional mild hot flashes. It is not an aggressive therapy, but as a starting treatment point for me it made sense. Had a clear cardiac calcium scan done before starting it though, due to the clotting risk. I do not know yet if it’s working - have one more year to wait until I can do a follow-up bone density scan.

I just started Fosamax for osteoporosis. I can't afford evenity so trying Fosamax which Medicare advantage covers. I am worried about the side effects of Fosamax, esp jaw decay. I'm on my 4 th dose and do have muscle and bone pain and headaches. I researched Evista and it seemed to have less side effects, but has possible blood clots and hot flashes. Glad to hear you're doing good on Evista with little side effects. I am going to ask my pcp about Evista. Best to you.
