According to the outlined protocol from Evenity if you have not had a stroke (including TIA) or cardiovascular event within the last year and have no other known cardiovascular issues (you should see a cardiologist) the risk is very low.
There are so many other drugs that many of us take every day including just the vitamin Niacin that are known to cause or precipitate cardiovascular events…asprin is a well known one many people die from internal bleeding every year. It helps to keep things in proper perspective knowing this.
You and your doctor still have the final say so as what you think is the best plan. If your T Score's (as fuzzy as they can be) are really bad -3 to -3.3 or worse (mine is -4.8) you may be at severe risk for a fracture…
I opted to go the Tymlos anabolic route. I’m only 65 and otherwise healthy with no known cardiovascular issues…I may look at Evenity as an alternative if I don’t get good improvement from Tymlos.
I am also doing “heel drops” with some weights not too much weight though, taking calcium through nonfat milk and some vitamins to get 1200mg per day total. (Keep an eye on getting blood checked for too much calcium) some vitamin D and K small amount of magnesium and a few others not too much. Walking etc. -2 degrees out now! So treadmill works.
