Anyone taken Evenity (romosozumab) for Osteoporosis?

If you've had radiation you also can not take Forteo

The reason why you cant take Tymlos or Forteo after radiation is that it causes bone cancer. I do not think they have found that to be the case with Evenity. But its such a new drug. Like others here, I have severe osteoporosis (-3.5) had some radiation after a lumpectomy and I also had a heart attack in 2010, so my options are limited. I am debating prolia or Evenity and talking to my cardiologist and other doctors about which one. No bone breaks yet, Im 63.

It has been found to be untrue that Forteo causes bone cancer in humans, and I believe not a single case has occurred since it began usage.

The black box warning for Forteo and bone cancer has been removed and the time limit taken off. Tymlos is newer and will probably also have the black box removed.

I also had breast cancer.

The amount of these meds given to rats was much much larger than what humans get.

That said, if you or I had bone metastases it could be a concern.

No doctor and no research that I have been able to find or request has said that breast cancer patients cannot take Forteo or Tymlos.

There was a recent study on Evenity that seems to say the risk for heart attack is not as great as they originally thought? Anyone taking it? What is the most current information?

Thank you for this.

I too am interested in Evenity. I see many comments about it. Has anyone gotten their scores after complete it their treatment and are willing to share the results?

Back to Evenity: I have been taking it for 7 months with no side effects. I would be interested in information about follow up treatments after I am finished with Evenity in another five months. Is if possible to follow up Evenity treatment with Forteo? FDA has approved a new long term treatment protocol for Forteo -- so I would be interested if others have considered this or have experience with it.

I have read that Evenity can follow Forteo or Tymlos but not the other way around, but ask an MD. Evenity "turbocharges" growth so there may be less for the others to accomplish.

I just started taking my first shot of Evenity last week. I will take twelve shots in all, one shot per month, and then move on to Prolia for five years, when I’ll be taking one shot every six months. Too early to report anything more. So far I’m grateful to report no side effects of Evenity! Beverly Ruth

Thank you Windyshores... your comment may be correct, in which case I wish I had known this 8 months ago. Nevertheless, maintaining the gains of Evenity by using Forteo still might have advantages. First, maybe the forteo would continue to build bone. Second, unlike the biphosphonates which tend to freeze everything, the forteo would not freeze everything. That might allow a better chance of re-building bone through exercise programs such as weight lifting. You're right, I need to talk with a doc. But meanwhile other's experiences help me understand the possibilities. Thanks again.
