Ok not sure if you want to know this. I didn't know anything about Prolia until l decided to stop it after my 4th injection. Well l have stopped but am now on Actonel. I was told after l stopped that l risked spinal injuries! I have lived with that for 5 months so l have been researching AMGEN, who make it and also the Data from our Australian Therapeutic Licensing Authority. 82 deaths and 2040 reports of adverse effects (most are fractures).
The Authority does not say it was Prolia only one single medication SUSPECTED.

So do not start it. Also in America when you get the information do they tell you it's made from the Ovary Cells from Chinese hamsters? Good luck to all of us. Jenny xx

I have had no issues with Prolia and had good gains. It just has to be used carefully as directed and followed up with another med to maintain the gains. Each of the meds works differently.

I had 3 injections of Prolia. Then my hair fell out in great gobs!
I told the doc that I wouldn’t get any more injections.
They put me on Rysedronate. I’ve been on that once a week ever since. No breaks so far - over 2 years. And I feel fine.
My hair is growing back but very slowly.
