I finished 12 months of Evenity in October and have taken 4 doses of alendronate. Previously I might have had a few bouts of GERD responding to occasional TUMs or Pepsis. Very concerned about taking alendronate but absolutely NEVER taking Prolia. I had textbook improvements with Evenity. So far I had non problem with week 1 and 3 of alendronate but weeks 2 and 4 experienced heartburn 1 1/2-2 days after taking not the day or night of so I am being very mindful and careful to see where this goes.

My endo says at least 2 years on alendronate. I’ve always wondered if evenity become more resorptive in the latter months, could this influence how long you need and anti resorptive before a drug holiday. i’ve not been able to turn up any info specific to this.

I have had an appt with Dr McCormick and I had some GERD issues in my distant past. He said to me after Forteo , as the anabolic he recommended for me , he would use Actonel instead of Fosamax. Food for thought. Maybe check that out . Ask your practitioners questions. Good luck!!
