I have had 7 prolia injections. My bloodwork is very good. Prolia did increase my already high cholesterol but I am now on medication which I should have been on years ago. I have had hair loss but that started when I started beta-blockers before I was on Prolia.
There is a problem when it comes to invasive dental procedures (extractions, implants). The oral surgeon is reluctant to extract a tooth until the end of the six month injection period as healing of bone could be compromised.
Bisphosphonates for me are a no-go.
Follow-up and bone density test in Jan.
The other side effect is chronic (miralax required )constipation.
This was a preexisting issue made worse (although doctor (s) say not the Prolia but its my body and sticking to my story).
Prolia has improved my
bone density although I do question the quality of the bone based on my limited understanding of how the drug interferes with the bone remodelling process.
My opinion: right now, all of the drugs have side effects that are problematic.
On a positive note, so easy to get this painless injection.
Will see what the doc says in Jan 2022.
