med interaction

Post by GlendaV »

Could Evenity, the medication for Osteoporosis aggravate the MC . I have had 7 injections so far and it seems like since then my MC has been more difficult to control . I keep on losing wt , down to 7 lbs and wonder if the Evenity could be causing the my MC to continue. I can not find side effect of this nature . I do stay on a Gluten Free diet but it does not seem to help . Any sugggestions . Thank you

These are uncharted waters. But just because Romosozumab (Evenity) doesn't have any listed side effects that appear as though they might affect MC, doesn't mean that it can't negatively affect MC. In such cases, we have to listen to our body. It will usually tell us what we need to know.

I note that Romosozumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that inhibits the action of sclerostin, a regulatory factor in bone metabolism. That implies that the drug may be treating osteoporosis as an autoimmune disease (unless I'm looking at this incorrectly), which means that it might possibly cause immune system effects that adversely affect MC. But that's just a wild guess that isn't substantiated by medical research.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
