@merpreb Yes, that's my endocrinologist told me. I'll get 12 months of injections of Evenity to "build" bone density and then a bone density scan to examine what we hope are gains in bone density. At that point my doctor will order another medication such as Reclast to "lock in" the gains. I get Evenity injections at an infusion center that is 2 hour drive from where I live. So, once a month we make a day of it and stop for a late lunch on the way back home.

.... possible side effects. I had none and great gains. It is not to replace this drug after completing the of course of 12 but rather sequence in a drug that will preserve the gains. Good time to discuss with your endocrinologist what she/he believes will be the best sequence of drugs for the long haul and why. Make sure you get the rationale for the sequencing and then do your own research. Good luck.
