Clinical study on Denosumab (Prolia) - Will it change recommendations?

Has anyone's doctor discussed this study? It's a little too technical for me, but I wondered if and how it is going to change current recommendations. It can be found on the NIH PubMed site by searching for "Denosumab for osteoporosis treatment lamy"

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

Hi - glad to hear you are seeking other medical advice. Is it with a specialist? My Dexa scan 8 months after my Prolia injection did show improvement in all areas, which my Dr attributed to the one injection, which is possible. I plan to have another scan in 10 months and hope that I don't see a rebound/decrease in my numbers then. If so I may need to reconsider medication but would look at all other options before committing to Prolia again. In the meantime I continue to eat well, take calcium supplements, and do a lot of weight bearing exercise. I will be interested in knowing what your new Doctor recommends. Good luck!
