"After taking Evista 60 mg for 5 years for the treatment of osteopenia, my recent bone density test showed -4.2, which is osteoporosis. Even though my insurance would not cover it, especially now that I am on Blue Cross Blue Shield/Anthem prescription plan, Evista is on the 5th tier so they do not cover it. I took it in good faith, believing it would strengthen my bones, but now I have osteoporosis. I am 69 years old and was shocked after my doctor told me. Now, they want me to see a rheumatologist to discuss taking Prolia. (I know nothing about this medication.) How can I trust this will be a good prescription when Evista made the bone loss worse."

"I was prescribed Evista after taking hormones, which caused a cyst on one ovary that was surgically removed. After taking Evista for 17 years, I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer and had a complete hysterectomy. I think the Evista caused the endometrial cancer. However, my bone scans have been good - no osteoporosis."

"Took Evista for 15 years and kept osteoporosis in check. Then knee replacements caused cessation of Evista for 2 years - 2 new knees. New bone density saw deterioration of all bones, and one thigh bone showed osteoporosis. Endocrinologist just put me on Fosamax."
