Evenity (romosozumab) is used to treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women at high risk of fractures. Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by low bone mass and poor bone structure, which makes bones fragile and more prone to fractures. Evenity works by increasing bone formation and decreasing bone breakdown, thereby increasing bone density and reducing the risk of fractures.
The active substance in Evenity, romosozumab, is a monoclonal antibody that attaches to a specific target in the body called sclerostin. Sclerostin is a natural substance that plays a key role in regulating the formation and breakdown of bone. By attaching to sclerostin and blocking its action, romosozumab increases the formation of new bone tissue, and reduces the breakdown of existing bone. This helps strengthen bones and reduce the risk of fractures.
