The US Food and Drug Administration has approved a new treatment for osteoporosis in postmenopausal women who are at high risk of bone fractures
.
The FDA announced Tuesday that the drug, called romosozumab, which has the brand name Evenity, works mainly by boosting bone formation and is approved to treat osteoporosis in women with a history of osteoporotic fracture or multiple risk factors for fracture, or those who have not benefited from other types of osteoporosis therapies.
The safety and efficacy of Evenity were tested in two clinical trials involving more than 11,000 women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, according to the FDA.Although the trials found the drug to be effective in lowering the risk of a new fracture, the agency noted that there were some side effects, including an increased risk of cardiovascular death, heart attack and stroke.
