I discontinued Prolia after five injections (2 1/2 years). You can read my prior posts for more detail. I cannot take some oral medications due to GERD and other GI issues. I was also concerned about Reclast because of some of its side effects.

My endocrinologist and I landed on raloxifine (Evista) because I had to take something after Prolia and I am a breast cancer survivor. Evista is said to have some protective properties. She explained that this drug is not as “powerful”. I also eat 6 prunes a day and take D3 with K2, both recommended for osteoporosis. I have had no detectable side effects from raloxifene and have been taking it for over a year.

I will have a bone scan in September. It will have been two years since the last one and I will report back as to how much of a backslide I incurred.

Best wishes to you,
Cindy
