Thank you @gently for your excellent explanation about the dangers of Prolia. Do you know if there is a study that would show us the percentage of people who have mild side effects versus those with severe side effects? I wish they would include those in the pamphlets that come with the meds.

Hi, shelldct1.
There is this from the FDA's adverse reporting system. ://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10441037/#:~:text=Discussion%20APRs%20are%20common%20among%20people%20who,after%20the%20first%20compared%20to%20subsequent%20infusions.

Clinical trials all contain this information, but usually it is a fairly select group in clinical trials.

Looking for specific information is a bit of a struggle. It seems that none of the reporting services or studies are powered for the specific information I want. Shelldct1, if this isn't helpful enough, let me know.

shelldct: On Prolia's own website it states 1 in 11 women taking it will get a bladder infection. For women over 70, a bladder infection is the number one reason for being diagnosed with sepsis. I was put on the wrong medicine for a uti and by the time the urine culture came back to indicate which antibiotic was best, was contacted after the pharmacy closed and had to wait another day, I was admitted to the hospital with sepsis. And, anecdotally, my endocrinologist, when asked, what was the main side effect she saw in her practice she responded "bladder infections." I think I remember coming across a more detailed breakdown of side effects, and the percentage of people experiencing them, on studies posted on the National Institutes of Health website.

I took 2 injections of Prolia with no side effects. I took it after one year of Evenity. I didn’t have any gains and now I am on Reclast and no side effects either.
