Struggling with making an osteoporosis treatment decision

Hello Sue, it's important to know, that I know of, most clinical trials are sponsored and paid for by the manufacturers of the drugs. Yikes. Warmest wishes, Sunnyflower

A pharmaceutical company develops a drug with testing along the route to ensure it is accomplishing what it is intended to do. Then much more extensive testing (clinical trials) is needed to get the drug approved for marketing. Who do you think is going to pay for all this testing? Some fairy godmother? Hopefully the testing protocol and results are reviewed by an independent party.

Wow. Just happened onto your post, my first time in this group. Now I get it!
It's October 8, 2025. I've just gotten off the phone with Evenity. The woman was rather stiff answering my questions.
How long on the market? Since 2019. Where can I read the study mentioned in your literature; when was the study; who conducted the study; any other information? She said she had to refer me back to my prescriber. For. every. question.
Very disappointing. Very frustrating.
