Can one stop taking prolia after the first shot?

Dear @colleenyoung thank you so much for your help and suggestions. I would also ask, what are the risks she could have if she goes now to the dentist as she has a broken tooth root. I am so worried about her getting any dental work done now. I would ask why her gut is not absorbing the D3 pills she's taking?
If she should do any scans or so.

My understanding is that you should not take Prolia within at least six weeks of dental work, etc.
As with any drug, there are pros and cons. When you read about the side effects of Prolia, you wonder if they are worth the risk. From reading the side effects, I see that when you stop Prolia, it looks very ominous. I am considering this very thing. I really would rather spend 5 good years rather than bone pain, which is common, and the risk of jaw problems. Of course, you must make an individual decision. Affording these drugs without insurance is insane.

@imatine, great questions. It's best to look at the condition - osteopor0sis - as a whole and not focus only on starting or stopping a medication. The bigger picture is your mom's health: bone health, dental health, gut health etc. Your questions help guide a discussion that get to answers for your mom's health overall.
