Information for Patients
For safe and effective use of Evista , the physician should inform patients
about the following:
Patient Immobilization Evista should be discontinued at least 72 hours prior
to and during prolonged immobilization for example post-surgical recovery,
prolonged bed rest, and it is advisable that patients should avoid prolonged
restrictions of movement during travel because of the increased risk of
venous thromboembolic events.

and is not effective in reducing hot flashes or flushes associated with
estrogen deficiency. It has been noticed that in some asymptomatic patients
hot flashes may occur upon beginning Evista therapy.
