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.
