For Osteoporosis "Have been taking for 6 months. Well tolerated except for persistent hives that respond very well to antihistamines. Suspect I will have to use the antihistamines for the next 6 months until the course is completed."

For Osteoporosis "I am 56 years old and post-menopausal - no hormone therapy of any kind. Symptoms of menopause were and are mild. I am very lucky. I take Veozah for the hot flashes only. First bone scan in June of 2024 showed signs of bone loss. I am thin and have always been very healthy. My doctor told me that I was a good candidate for Evenity. Use discount card. It did take a couple of months to get approved by my insurance. I started the monthly injection in August. Side effects include slight discomfort (two shots in the abdomen) at the injection site and a mild rash (raised and itchy) on my torso and back that lasts for a couple of weeks after the shots. It is bothersome but tolerable. I hope I can get through the series of 12 shots without anything further. Everyone is different, I don't like to take medication but understand sometimes we have to, but the side effects can be a big deterrent. I hope I don't have any additional side effects going forward. I will take Prolia to sustain the bone growth."

For Osteoporosis "I got a rash on my arms and shins after 5 months of injections. Just had my 9th injection and still have a rash. Didn’t realize it was probably caused by Evenity. My dermatologist couldn’t figure out what was causing it. Sent me to an allergist."

For Osteoporosis "Just had my 4th injection. I had been on Prolia the last five years. It’s too early to say how it’s working. I’m wondering now if the very itchy rash I’ve had on my shoulders, back, neck, and scalp the past couple of months I originally thought was my skin lupus (but isn’t responding to the meds) is really from Evenity. I’m going to check into it this week."
