hi yellowbird, anyone experiencing the said to be "rare" experience of constipation with Prolia is advised to contact their physician immeditely. Prolia stays in your system 4 to 5 months. Half life is 26 days.
Did the NP prescribe the the Prolia? If there is an md involved, you might/should contact them. But you probably need a new provider.
I'd suggest a bisphosphonate to counteract any rebound from the one injection of Prolia. If you opt for Reclast make it a low dose, slow infusion. You have till June to figure all that. Meanwhile be sure to use measures such as milk of magnesia to alleviate the constipation.
And don't let this be your last comment; make it a conversation.

Thank you for responding. Yes, there is a Dr involved. They are in an arthritis Clinic that Cigna insurance approved. I am seeing my Primary Dr. tomorrow morning and will share what I have learned so far. Even the paperwork that comes with Prolia says constipation is a possible side effect. Ugh!
