Evenity and Prolia are both made by Amgen so the website suggests following Evenity with Prolia 🙂
I am on Tymlos. My doc wants to do a partial dose of Reclast (well-hydrated, and slow infusion) to see how I react. I then might do a stronger dose. He says that with monitoring I could take breaks from meds, but with Prolia this would not be possible.
I would think that if I do Evenity after Tymlos, a possibility, I would follow with Reclast.
There are other biphosphonate options. One poster suggested the shorter acting alendronate if the plan might include going back on a bone-builder, because the anti-resorptives can interfere with them.
The other way of thinking would be to do the longer acting Reclast, which stays in your system and might enable you to take breaks.
I think it depends on our DEXA scores after we finish our current med.
