Anyone taken Evenity (romosozumab) for Osteoporosis?
Has anyone taken Evenity? I understand it’s only been on the market for a little over a year. I’m hoping it will help with my severe osteoporosis. Any information is helpful.
Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.
Update - my cardiologist told me no Evenity for me. I have heart issues. He said I was ok to try Tymlos.
Sure! Really hope it will help you too.
My doctor said that it is too soon to discuss. One year is long and I am confident on new researches.
So I was told to massauge the spot where you received ur needle right afterwards. It works
So I will be receiving my 5th Evenity shot next week. My only change has been my blood work. Since being on Evenity I had my Comprehensive Metabolic Panel done. It shows, only since being on Evenity, that my Alkaline Phosphatase, S has been elevated. It is a high 192. Has anyone had any labs done? If so, has anyone seen any elevation on their Alkaline Phosphatase S while being on Evenity?
Two of my cardiologists preferred Evenity to Tymlos due to my afib. ( I did Tymlos anyway with support of endo).
I think it depends on the specifics of the heart problem. I have a congenital heart problem. My cardiologist gave the OK to both one year and two years of Evenity. But that is specific to me, not everyone or every heart.
I posted elsewhere in the thread along with others regarding heart effects. It depends on the person and the heart condition. I talked to cardiologist who gave the green light. Others with different heart issues got a different answer. So talk with cardiologist.
I reviewed the study about continuing Evenity for two years with my endocrinologist. The study is posted here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29694685/ My endocrinologist wrote me an email that says the following: "Based on the current knowledge I would not favor proceeding directly with a second year of Evenity, but rather switch to an anti-resorbing drug. Having said that, a second Evenity course in the future is a reasonable option. Another alternative is to switch to a cyclical form of therapy, with intervening short courses of Evenity against a background therapy with anti-resorbing agents."
I would appreciate thoughts of anyone who has experience related to this.
Evenity can be continued for two years and will continue to benefit bone density according to this report.

The report is based on a study of patients who received Evenity for two years, followed by Prolia after completion of 2 years of Evenity. The report says that bone density continued to increase throughout the the 2 years of Evenity and continued to increase during the following year of treatment with Prolia.

Thank you for the link. It is already 4 years old. I wonder if there are more recent researches. I have been told today, during my first injection that Evenity was ok for 1 year only and then i should receive Prolia.
