Anyone used prolia?

broken13: It's actually not a generic, but rather called a biosimilar. But still, semantics don't really matter; it's a copy-cat drug of Prolia. And after 5 successful years on Prolia I got really sick on this copy-cat drug, (called Jubbonti) after being injected with it last month. It's only been on the market for 3 months. The company that has marketed Jubbonti seems to specialize in marketing biosimilars and generics after the patents for the original drugs expire. I am hoping to get an exception approved to only receive Prolia injections, again, in the future. I am glad to hear your sister has been on Prolia twice as long as I have and is doing well with no side effects. Thank you for posting.

Biosimilars at a cheaper price too. So the problem becomes scary with insurance companies only willing to cover the cheaper version. My sister was advised of this and had to switch over. So far, no difference noticed in terms of side effects for her.
