Key takeaways
Romosozumab (Evenity) and abaloparatide (Tymlos) are both medications that treat osteoporosis, a condition that weakens bones. But there are several differences between them. Both treat osteoporisi in women who have gone through menopause, but Evenity also treats osteoporosis in men. Evenity is injected by a healthcare professional once a month for 12 months. Tymlos is injected under the skin once daily, and you can typically inject it on your own at home. But you shouldn't use Tymlos for more than 2 years due to a potential risk of bone cancer. Common Evenity side effects include joint pain, weakness, and nausea. Common Tymlos side effects include nausea, dizziness, and aches and pains. Both medications require careful monitoring and have specific instructions for use to ensure safety and effectiveness.
