Thank you for your kind reply. The thing is, I am trying to decide for my elderly Mum who is 97 years old and has already had a few fractures. Up until recently, she was walking still, with a walker until she fell and sustained a pelvic fracture and a fracture in the sacrum. I have no idea what her T score is (probably low) but she has had osteoporosis for some years now and she also suffered from rheumatoid arthritis as a child of 9. The doctor at the care home ( in Canada) keeps pushing for the PROLIA medication but the more review I read about the effects I am leaning towards rejecting it for my Mother who other than the dementia, is stable, healthy with no stroke or heart issues. She has been stable for a long time. She only takes the dementia medication as well as calcium ( 500gr) and Vit D. That is all. She still enjoys life ( within her reality) I was leaning towards the FORTEO but have been told one of the criteria is that she would have had to have been on one of the osteoporosis meds first and not done well with it ( so the Prolia) before they'd consider to put her on Forteo. I am leaning towards the Tymlos but this drug is not available in Canada yet apparently and this means my options are limited and I definetely do not want the Prolia.
