Prevention of Osteoporosis
"After taking Evista 60 mg. for 5 years for treatment of osteopenia, my recent bone
density test, the -04.2 which is osteoporosis.  Even though my insurance would not cover it, esp. now that I am on Blue Cross Blue Shield/Anthem prescription plan,. Evista is on the 5th tier so they do not cover it.    I took it in good faith, believing it would strengthen my bones, now osteoporosis.  I am 69 years old and was shocked after my Dr. told me.  Now, they want me to see an rheumotologist to discuss taking Prolia.  (I know nothing about this medication.)  How can I trust this will be a good prescription when Evista made the bone loss worse."
