Romosozumab (Evenity) is one of the newer osteoporosis treatments available, and it's definitely a topic that comes up among MyOsteoTeam members. It's a monthly injection given over 12 months and works in a unique way — it both builds new bone AND slows bone loss at the same time.

It's FDA approved for postmenopausal women and men who are at very high risk of fractures, including those who have already broken bones or haven't responded well to other medications.

Here are some key things to know about it:

- Less than 5% of people in clinical trials reported side effects like joint pain or headaches
- It is not recommended for anyone who has recently had a heart attack or stroke due to possible heart-related risks
- It's given as a monthly injection for 12 months
- It's typically considered when other treatments haven't worked well enough As always, it's worth having a detailed conversation with your doctor to weigh the benefits and risks based on your personal health history. They can help figure out if it's the right fit for you! 💪
