Prolia treatment for osteoporosis: What is your experience?

Posted by Veruska @veriska, Mar 7, 2017

I received the results from my bone test and they have recommended I start Prolia. I have read the side effects and I am concerned. Has anyone use this drug and if so what side effects have you experienced. Thank you

Hi,
I was put on Prolia and straight away I noticed my kidneys weren’t working properly. Now 6 months on I have had 5 serious iritis attacks and serious ear infections in both ears most of the 6 months, NOMORE Prolia.

I have had a Prolia shot once a year for 3 years. I have had infections within the 6 months after each shot requiring antibiotic treatment each time. Prolia seems to affect my immune system so I am not going to take any more injections. I think the Infections may kill me before the fractures do but I am carefully watching my diet, doing yoga, cardio and weight training!! We shall see how this works!! I am also taking Algaecal because I can’t tolerate other calcium supplements. I am working up to 2 tablets daily and so far so good.

Let me know in a couple of months how Algecal works out
