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’m a newcomer too Evenity & having side effects. I’m trying too hang in there but wonder what drug too try next? I have bad gum recession & teeth issues. I started Prolia & all the dental specialists told me too get off Prolia. So I did & now on Evenity. My Rheumatologist wanted me too go on Forteo but I couldn’t afford the high cost. Medicare & Lily the manufacturer both denied coverage or assistance. How I wish there was a safer drug for all of us who need too strengthen our bones. Evenity is the newest member but a lot is still unknown. There has too be better options for all of us! Wishing you the best of luck!
@laverne23 Reclast is recommended by my doc, who never uses Prolia if he can help it. If Reclast is not possible, then alendronate (Fosamax).
Actonel and Fosomax don’t work for me. They cause extreme gastro issues.
Are there age issues with taking evenity. My doctor is worried about giving evenity to a person over about 75.
Just started evenity and my endocrinologist is suggesting prolia post evenity. Would be very Interested to know what your prolia journey is like when you begin.
@gravity3 you can take Reclast, alendronate or Prolia after Evenity, I have been told. My docs don't use Prolia but others do.
@laverne23 I have GERD and can't take actonel or Fosamax either. I have to do Reclast after Tymlos and doc is giving me a 20% dose to test my tolerance. My nephrologist wants me to drink a lot of salty fluids the day before, day of and day after and I will request a slow infusion. I just got word that I am approved for IV hydration before and during the infusion. Fingers crossed. I don't want to lose my gains on Tymlos and feel I am between a rock and a hard place with kidney issues.
I'm 75 and just started Friday. What is your doctor's worry about age?
I have my first Prolia shot tomorrow. I have had to take risks due to I needed to get my bones better so that I could get surgery on my back. I really have wanted my life back after my injury two years ago. It's not just a back ache. It has been a whole change of my life. My surgery has been scheduled for late October and I am so happy and feel so blessed.
