Anyone taken Evenity (romosozumab) for Osteoporosis?

Posted by arlene7 @arlene7, May 27, 2020

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 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.

She says strokes and other heart issues more common if you are older

Good luck with your surgery. I hope that it goes well and is successful beyond your expectations.

I was put on Prolia & did very well. 6 months later had dental issues & was told by my specialists too get off of Prolia. As long as you don’t have any dental issues I would recommend Prolia. I had NO side effects from Prolia either. I’m now on Evenity & like you will need post Evenity medication. Still have 7 more months before I need too worry!

@lab54 I did not know you could take Evenity after Prolia. My docs do it the other way round. I guess there is no data yet so let us know how it goes!

Usually Prolia comes after Evenity but I only had one shot of Prolia & the only reason I got off of it was because the dental specialists told me too. I had dental issues & they felt Prolia could have contributed to some of my issues. Then 2 years passed by & my t-scores weren’t good so my Rheumatologist put me on Evenity. I had NO side effects from Prolia but do with Evenity. I’m trying too hang in there but I see my doctor tomorrow too see where I go from here? Thanks for reaching out. Greatly appreciate it!

I am 74 1/2 and just started Evenity. I saw my cardiologist before I started and he said ok. So far, I have had no difficulty or side effects other than being a tired earlier in the evening on the day of the shots and the day after.

I am 75 and no one seemed to be worried about my age. Just finished up 6 mo of Evenity shots two weeks ago.

I just had my first injections of Envinity this morning. I, too, am supposed to go on Prolia after my last injections. I was on Reclast infusions for the last three years, but my bone density dept getting worse. I hope the Evenity and Prolia will help. I am almost 70 years old.
