Anyone taken Evenity (romosozumab) for Osteoporosis?

Very encouraging!
I had my first Evenity injection mid-August. Opted for the back of each arm, only side effect was tenderness for a day and a half.
Can I get some input on preventative measures taken for replacement of crown? Dentist indicated that I’m at the point where it won’t be considered too invasive, but cautioned that if I prolong beyond six months it could likely be more invasive. He indicated that he would defer to my endocrinologist with regard to what medication (amoxicillin) should/could be taken in advance of procedure. Thank you in advance for your input.

I asked specifically about dental work and Evenity and was told that if I need something done (at the age of 68 I have a wisdom tooth coming in, darnit!) to go ahead and do it while I'm on Evenity. She said the indications of jaw osteonecrosis is very low with Evenity, because the anti-resorption properties aren't as high with it as with most other drugs. The main thrust of Evenity is bone-building, which is why in most cases, we'll need to follow up with another medication to protect the gains. She also said the only case she personally had seen with jaw osteonecrosis was someone that had to have 4 teeth removed and was on another drug. I don't recall which it was, but it wasn't Evenity.
Be sure and ask your health care provider for yourself, but thought I'd relate what I was told by my health care pro.
good luck!
