Alternative treatment instead of Prolia injections

I am taking raloxifene (generic Evista) but cannot comment on its effectiveness as I have not had a scan since starting it. Blood clots are a possible side effect, but my endocrinologist was not overly concerned as I do not have a history.

I had been on Prolia (5 injections) but stopped because I felt it was a factor in my extreme hair loss. I am not a candidate for Fosomax due to GI issues. I also had breast cancer and raloxifene may help ward off this disease (?).

Best wishes,
Cindy

Thank you, Cindy, this really helps. I started my journey on Raloxifene and had no side effects but haven’t heard it mentioned on this forum. I don’t think it’s a bone builder but might be a good option for my mom to follow a year on Evenity.
I wish you continued good health and free of cancer…
