@giannam why Reclast first and then Evenity? Doesn't it make more sense to do Evenity first and then Reclast? I have read that doing a biphosphonate after a bone growing drug rather than before, is preferable. Bone quality is better with the bone-growing drugs and is a better foundation for maintaining with anti-resporptives. I am only another osteoporosis patient and not a doc but have read a study on this and it makes sense intuitively. Or maybe they want to see if Reclast does the job and then you wouldn't need the Evenity? Or insurance is requiring this order of things?

This is exactly what my doctor says: Evenity first. Evenity is an expensive drug, and was at first denied by my insurance. Insurance wanted me to do a biphosphonate first, then Evenity. My doctor appealed their decision. She referenced several scientific studies in her letter, and won the appeal. Insurance companies are not as familiar with Evenity since it is relatively new, and they are not always aware of the newer scientific data.
