BEWARE Romosozumab: See attached photo.

The black box warning notes an increased risk of myocardial infarction, stroke and cardiovascular death in clinical trials. Much more can be found about this drug through google.

Thank you for posting. I see it is brought to us by the same company which gifted us with Prolia (denosumab).

Indeed. It's all about the money. They don't care if there are a few deaths in clinical trials...

An important heads up! Thank you for posting.

Trying to find a version of this announcement to post on the American bone health site (also on HU) and discovered this is the drug called "Evenity".

It is. Such an innocent sounding name :( which has a dark side of course.

I did find what i needed, thank you. The American Bone Health site I just stumbled across a few days ago.. Much smaller than this, but just as full of people terrified of Prolia.
