About This Medication

# Amgen SupportPlus Co-Pay Program Patient Guide: How to Get EVENITY (romosozumab-aqqg) at Low or No Cost EVENITY (romosozumab-aqqg) is a prescription medicine used to treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women at high risk of fracture, or who cannot use other osteoporosis treatments or for whom they did not work well.[4][7] The **Amgen SupportPlus Co-Pay Program** helps **eligible commercially insured patients** pay as little as **$0 out-of-pocket** per dose, covering deductible, co-insurance, and co-payments.[1][2][6] ## About EVENITY EVENITY is given as two subcutaneous injections once a month for 12 months, typically followed by another osteoporosis treatment like Prolia. It works by building new bone and reducing bone loss to increase bone mass and strength.[4] **Important safety note**: EVENITY can increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, or cardiovascular death, especially if you've had one recently. Other risks include severe jaw bone problems (osteonecrosis), unusual thigh bone fractures, and low blood calcium. Common side effects are joint pain and headaches. Always discuss risks with your doctor and report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.[4] Before starting, tell your doctor if you have heart issues, recent stroke/heart attack, low calcium, or dental problems. Your doctor may check your mouth and calcium levels.[4][7] ## Who Qualifies This is primarily a **co-pay assistance program** for patients with **commercial (private) insurance**, not a free drug program based on income.[1][2][6] Key eligibility: - **Commercial insurance** (not government insurance like Medicare or Medicaid).[2][6] - **US resident**, 18+, prescribed EVENITY for approved use.[6] - Agree to program terms; not valid where prohibited by law.[6] **Uninsured patients**: Amgen SupportPlus offers resources and financial support info, but no specific free drug program details here.
