Anyone taken Evenity (romosozumab) for Osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis & Bone Health | Last Active: Nov 5 10:09pm | Replies (1348)Comment receiving replies
Hi, new here, my Endo is recommending I start on Evenity & I have many questions, of course. My Endo is a 45 minute drive & I am wondering if it might be better to start with my Rheumatologist, 10 from home. My biggest concern is possibly having a reaction while driving. Has anyone had any immediate reactions I should be aware of? Appreciate any input.

I did this so you can read the many helpful posts shared by members and connect with them easily. I see @windyshores has already replied with answers to some of your questions.
Happy connecting.
I've had 11 dosages of Evenity and am scheduled for my last next week. After I received the first set of shots (there are 2, one in each arm for me), the nurse kept me there for 30 minutes to make sure I had no reactions, which I did not.
Now I go get my shot and drive home immediately. The only reactions I have are a little soreness at the injection site, which is gone within a day or so.

They do Evenity in the office, as you know, so I assume they will make sure you are okay before leaving. Do you have a lot of serious med sensitivities? You could see whichever doctor you like and have the most confidence in, but I doubt that the fear of something happening on the way home is the best reason for the choice, unless your doc feels otherwise. I am sensitive to meds too so I understand the concern!
