Prolia treatment for osteoporosis: What is your experience?
I received the results from my bone test and they have recommended I start Prolia. I have read the side effects and I am concerned. Has anyone use this drug and if so what side effects have you experienced. Thank you

I have used Prolia for five years (shot twice a year). I never had any bad reactions but had some improvement with my bone density. My endocrinologist wants me to remain with Prolia most probably for life -- also, not to add anything else while on Prolia.
How was Evenity too strong?
I had 2 injections before having to quit for dental work. I had no side effects and my numbers actually improved.
I have been on Evenity for 11 months going into my last injection . Evenity promotes bone growth it’s an Anabolic medication . Prolia is a Antiresorptive medication it affects both density and quality aspects of bone . It does create more bone density than do bisphosphonates .
Sorry, I knew better and stated their properties exactly backwards. And Reclast also helps keep gains like Prolia.
You are right!
