Many women face the silent challenge of weakening bones after menopause.

This condition, called osteoporosis, occurs when the natural process of bone breakdown and rebuilding becomes unbalanced, leaving bones fragile and more prone to fractures.

In this video, we’ll look at Evenity, a treatment designed to address this issue.

Evenity is an injectable treatment that uniquely enhances bone-building.

It works by blocking a protein called sclerostin, which normally slows down the bone formation process.

By inhibiting sclerostin, Evenity allows your body to build new bone more effectively.

The treatment is administered as a monthly injection. Like any medication, it may cause side effects.

Commonly reported ones include joint pain, headaches, injection site reactions, and muscle spasms.
