Why build bone? A prior osteoporotic fracture greatly increases your risk for another fracture. In fact, after a fracture, you are 5 times more likely to suffer a second one within just 1 year. That's why it's so important to build new bone after a break.
There are 2 types of osteoporosis treatments—antiresorptives and anabolics. Each treatment type works differently, so take a look below to learn more.
Antiresorptives slow down the bone-removing process in your body to help reduce further bone loss.
Anabolics, or bone builders, stimulate new bone formation.
EVENITY™ is an anabolic treatment that's unique, because it's the only one that works in two ways. EVENITY™ unlocks your body's own natural ability to both build new bone and to a lesser degree slow down bone loss at the same time.
EVENITY™ is the result of many years of scientific research. Scientists were inspired to develop EVENITY™ when a gene in people with very strong bones was identified over 15 years ago.
The effects of EVENITY™ have been clinically studied in thousands of women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, including women who have had a previous fracture.
