Evista (Raloxifene)

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Jacksonville, FL

Does anyone have experience with Exista? I just started taking it.

I didn't have problems with legs aching until I started taking Forteo. Then the leg cramps hit me and I've been taking Magnesium for my legs and that has helped me tremendously.

Evista

Wakefield, UK

Is Evista the same as Alendronic acid? I’m supposed to take the A acid but decided not to due to all side effects I keep hearing about. Have just started on Algeacal and Strontium boost.

How Did You Choose Your Treatment?

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Grove City, OH

I went against my endo's recommendation and choose what I thought to be the least invasive drug with the fewest side effects after I was unable to take Fosamax. I am currently taking Evista, Ca and Vit D but I am scheduled for my second bone scan. I am hoping to have made progress but my doctor is not hopeful. He wants me to choose between Forteo and Tymlos. He says I am not building bone and these are the best options for this issue. I don't want to take any of these drugs because of all the… read more

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!
