Prolia treatment for osteoporosis: What is your experience?

windyshores, I haven't talked with my doctor about this yet. However, I have a friend who's an internist and a sister who's a pediatrician. They're both on Prolia, and they tell me they're planning to stay on it after 5 years. We're all older though, 70s. If someone is younger, they may want to make a different choice. Lots depends on how things unfold as the medical establishment and we "guinea pigs" wait to see what longterm effects, if any, arise.

@sungal some are staying on Prolia 8-10 years apparently but for those of us in our 70's, that means into our 80's and then stopping and doing Reclast....When I am 80+ I would consider Prolia if it was tolerable and if the effect on immune system is okayed by research and MD's (I have lupus). I have a friend who is 83 and taking it for the rest of her life, apparently. She has not been told about a need to stop or rebound and follow-up and I did not enlighten her 🙂
