I am new t oh this forum. I was told I need to go on Evenity after doing 1 year of ReclastZ. I am very hesitant about the side effects especially every month after being injected. I am very active and I’m 68 yrs old in good health but have had a spine fracture due to a fall . Anyone out there that can give me a heads up of what I’m in for if I take the Evenity?
With romosozumab, the usual side effects are joint pain, headache, injection site stuff — not typically rising blood pressure. That said, it does carry a cardiovascular warning (heart attack, stroke), so anything like:
-BP going up month to month
-new heart-related symptoms
s something doctors take seriously even if it’s not a “classic” side effect.
Anecdotally, you’re not the only one some people do report BP creeping up while on it, even though a lot of others have zero issues.

@cheezwizard Unfortunately the Doctors office and nurses said that my Blood Pressure going up every month while on Evenity: two shots one in each arm was nothing. They totally ignored my concern as I had Low Blood Pressure until I started the Evenity shots. I stopped after 6 months as my Insurance would no longer cover it which turn out to be a blessing in disguise. I and was sad and put down for my concerns about my blood pressure going up up and up. They really did not care to hear about my BP and they told me I just had "white coat Syndrome" which was untrue as I was NOT stressed at all which was very insulting. I believe the Evenity had a Black Box warning which should stay on the med warning.
