Hi, just joined this group. I want to come off Prolia due to side effects. I've had 5 injections. I'm 63. I've been reading the responses and seems Reclast is the best for rebound fractures but from what I've read it can cause heart issues. I've seen little to no mention of going on Fosamax as a option, unless I missed it? I'm still learning to maneuver through this post. I am thinking about asking my doctor to prescribe the maintenance dose of 35mg of Fosamax . It's difficult to find information to come off Prolia. My immune system has taken a hit and I can no longer take this drug.

With Reclast, which is called zoledronic acid in Australia, which sounds what it is, very potent. And it has been recommended to me as better to counteract the rebound effect of Prolia. However l am going to ask for a reduced dose of 2g, to see the effect as the side effects reported on this discussion group are dreadful. Also it should never be a 15 minute infusion.
The longer the safer it is. I think in Australia the minimum is 30 minutes for the infusion.
Lots of water to drink as well but your dr should tell you all this. Good luck.
