Has Anyone Used EVISTA For Osteoperosis Treatment?

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭

Does anyone have any experience taking EVISTA? My doctor has suggested this as an alternative to Bisphosphonates as I had concerns about the side effects with those drugs. Curious any experiences anyone has had (positive or negative) - in particular any side effects, negative reactions, etc. Any information would be welcome and helpful.

Thank You!

I was on Evista while taking steroids for PMR. When I had a bone scan I was told my bones were stronger than average for my age. Evista was then stopped by the hospital, Ad CalD3 continued, but unknown to me, I then developed Osteoporosis and found out when I got a T12 fracture!
Only side effect of Evista was occasional hot flushes.

Me too!! 50 percent of all women have this disease. That's a lot of money to be made!! Why would I take something that's going to make me feel worse.

I have done some research on alternatives to the drugs that usually subscribed and there is no way I would take any of of the big pharma drugs. Most studies are paid for by these pharmacutical companies to say what they want. I am going with other ways with diet exercise and supplements.
