This is from the Evenity website:
"---------------------------DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION-------------------
• Two separate subcutaneous injections are needed to administer the total dose of 210 mg. Inject two syringes, one after the other. (2.1)
• Should be administered by a healthcare provider. (2.1)
• Administer 210 mg subcutaneously once every month for 12 doses in the
abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. (2.2)
• Adequately supplement calcium and vitamin D during treatment. (2.2)

and this is from the package Insert from Drugs.com:Prepare and clean two injection sites, one for each of the two injections. See Figure B.

Figure B
The recommended subcutaneous injection sites include:
● The thigh
● Abdomen, except for a two-inch area right around the navel
● Outer area of upper arm

I tried to include a diagram from the Package Insert. But if you put Evenity in your search bar and scroll down to Drugs.com Evenity Injection: Package Insert-Drugs.com, then click on Dosage and Administration, scroll down to 2.3 Preparation and Administration Instructions and read and scroll you'll see the diagram.

I hope that helps.

This should be given to every patient prior to commencing treatment
