What to do to prepare for Evenity injections?

Posted by debowa @deborahwalton, Mar 12, 2023

Does anyone who receives Evenity injections do anything in advance to prepare such as drinking extra water for a day or 2 before the injections, or...? Thank you. I'm receiving my first injections on March 22.

I took an antihistamine (Zyrtec) one hour prior to the injection. That prevented muscle aches I had after the first injection when I had not taken an antihistamine.

I still had discomfort at the injection site as well as some fatigue for about 24 hours after the shot, but no muscle aches.
