Blood tests, Evenity, Forteo etc.

[cmoc]

What blood tests do you have taken while you are on Evenity, Forteo etc. and how often?

Eg. Calcium, Vitamin D, Renal etc.

Thanks

The bone clinic I attend just prescribes something (I’m on Raloxifene after 2 years of teriparatide) and says “see you in 2 years for the next Dexa”.. I can try contacting the specialist nurse if I have issues buts it’s a long process. Luckily I recently moved to a new GP and they added calcium and vit d to my annual health check blood tests - had to request it as extras though.

My rheumatologist ordered Evenity. I start in a couple of weeks (May 2023). There was no mention of any blood tests - although I get standard CMP and CBC at a minimum about every 3-6 months due to other medical conditions. What tx are you taking or considering?

What is tx?

tx = treatment, I believe.
