6 months of 12-month Evenity treatments... very expensive but my insurance is covering it. I have not had a bone density test since I started so I can't attest to effectiveness. I have had no side effects (I choose to take the injections in my belly). I am very hopeful that the Evenity and extra calcium / D3 will help.

My doctor has said that some of her patients have had very good results.
