My docs won't prescribe Prolia unless absolutely necessary when patients cannot tolerate anything else. There are a lot of risks getting off, with loss of bone density, return to previous levels and higher risk of fracture. People stay on Prolia a long time and then have to go on Reclast to try to avoid rebound.
Tymlos, Forteo and Evenity are all good starting meds- and bone builders (Evenity for the first 6 months, then last 6 months are anti-resorptive).

Thank you so much for your thoughts. I am so overwhelmed by the severeness of the levels of my osteoporosis as told to me by my endocrinologist and pcp. I am not at all knowledgeable on these drugs and side effects they can endure. There are so many different drugs out there for this disease, but what is the right choice? Doctors push for the Prolia. Since studying this drug and reading blogs, this doesn’t quite sound to be the drug of choice. We all just want to make the right choice as to which one would benefit us the most without the side effects. Thank you for your input.
