Is there anyone who has been able to get Evenity approved for a man?

I appreciate the reply. I have systemic atherosclerosis, 1,100 cta score, and severe and worsening small fiber neuropathy. My cardiologist just refused doing a complete CV panel as I was trying to be proactive. Thank you

I've already been on forteo/teriparatide for 28 months prior, then bisphosphates 13 months, couldn't handle it. They thought I had multiple myeloma at one point and had boughts of hypercalcimiam. I know black box warning off, I just can't do it anymore. I

I see you are also on the Inspire site that I just went onto after years being off. Are you a moderator?

@garycorb No I'm not a moderator - I'm just a guy trying to turn my bone loss around.

UPDATE: 18 mo. wasted on Boniva resulted in bone LOSS; ANOTHER 18 mo. wasted on Prolia with slight bone loss...still on it for . Thanks to being denied EVENITY, he now has a hip fracture, so Thanksgiving trip canceled and we won't be with family. BIG PHARMA SUCKS!!

My 75 y/o husband had a hip revision this summer. The surgeon told us he has never seen such thin bones! He's been on various fosomax drugs over the many years but cannot take them. He's been on prolia injections for 12 years, and the endocrinologist told him he needs to get off for awhile so he took another drug called risdresnote (sp?). He suffered thru 9 months of pain taking it and said no more. He's now back on prolia. The doctors want him on Evenity, but he was told it hasn't been approved for men yet. This is quite the conundrum.

I know of a thin gentleman who just completed a year on Evenity.
I don’t believe it’s specific to the female gender. I’ve seen other posts in this site from men who are on Evenity. I am in the US, just fyi.

I am a 71 year old male. I was diagnosed with Osteoporosis. I fractured a vertebrae in 2023. I was approved for Evenity and took it for a year. No side effects and a 35% improvement in bone density.
I’m now on Prolia with no side effects. I know the hesitation with Prolia, per comments on this site and my own research. However, I decided to trust my Rheumatologist, who has been treating Osteoporosis for many years and has had patients on Prolia for over 15 years with no problems. I know that every case can differ and there are no guarantees. Michael Lavecot, on this discussion group, has a very good YouTube video on this as well. Thank you, Michael for all of your research.
I’m on an Aetna Medicare PPO plan. The Evenity injections were 100% covered, as are the Prolia injections. I hope this is helpful and I wish you all the best with your treatment.

Thank you sir, for this information.
My husband has had no problems with Prolia - it seems to be the one thing that has improved his situation. The problem now is, he has been on for so long, the endo wants him to give it a break and try another drug. Hence, trying for Evenity, which she (the endo) said insurance denied since wasn't approved for men. The ortho surgeon wanted the endo doc to ask for a "peer-to-peer" with insurance but she said no it would not be approved since FDA hasn't approved it for men. Our insurance is Medicare, with the supplement being UHC thru AARP (not an advantage plan or PPO). May I ask how you were able to be approved for Evenity? That is our goal as both doctor and pharmacist said it is the most targeted drug for his situation. After his hip revision, he was in hospital rehab, a wheel chair for months, walker, and now a cane. Any direction you can give is appreciated. We are fighting for his mobility and quality of life. Thank you.

I wish I knew how he was approved. We too are in USA. My husband was denied by insurance a month ago and told it has not been FDA approved for men.
