Anyone taken Evenity (romosozumab) for Osteoporosis?
Has anyone taken Evenity? I understand it’s only been on the market for a little over a year. I’m hoping it will help with my severe osteoporosis. Any information is helpful.

I completed one year of Evenity in July. My bone density improved! My spine T-score went from -3.0 to -2.1 which is a 13.5% improvement (the percentages are calculated using the bone density values measured in g/cm sq). My total femoral mean improved from -1.8 to -1.5 which is a 4% gain. I had no side effects except for minor swelling at the injection site in my belly which went away after a day. I have gone on Reclast to lock in my gains. It is an annual infusion for 3 years. I didn't like the sound of Prolia because you must take it for life and Fosamax due acid reflux issues. Over the year, I took 500 mg calcium plus Vit D supplements daily, took walks and did yoga once a week. I added frequent weight training over the last 3 months. It is hard to do everything suggested, but did the best I could. I highly recommend Evenity based on my experience.

11 ReactionsI can’t take calcium pills (causes extreme constipation which then affects my digestive system), so my Rheumatologist told me to take two or three Tums a day. It seems to be working for me.
That is great news. My endocrinologist has started me on Evenity for a T score in my spine of -4.6. I must admit the side effects scare me especially osteonecrosis of the Jaw. I have had lots of dental work in the past.
So glad for you that this has worked out for you.
I have taken both. Just finished a year of Evenity. I had absolutely no problems. Now I have to decide what is next. My doctor recommended reclast, because if I go back on Prolia, I am on it forever. I took the reclast. I had more side effects from that than either of the other two.

1 Reactionwhat side effects did you have from Reclast? How long do they last and is there something they can do to alleviate them?
I am finding success in getting the tests I want when I tell my doc what I want rather than ask.
I wouldn't hesitate to evaluate whether my doc is the right one for me.

1 ReactionI’m hoping I can make it through the year of Evenity, second shots are today. I had a horribly sore arm the day of and day after the first shots, as well as a few nights where I barely slept. If it doesn’t get worse than that and I can improve my -4.3 spine score, it would be worth it.

What were your Reclast side effects like? I’m on Evenity and may have Reclast in my future.
