I've lost track of the source of my statement about the rebound effect. If I find it, I'll post. When I searched for "prolia rebound effect" today, I got many articles discussing fractures that occurred after discontinuing Prolia after several years of using it. This is quite different from what I understood "rebound effect" to be. What I thought I had read was that it could appear out of the blue while still on Prolia. In any event, all the information I could find on any of the side effects simply classified them as "most common," "less common," "rare," etc.

You can get these spinal fractures if you delay getting your prolia dose for as little as 2 mos. You must get an i n jection every 6-7 months. If you want to stop prolia you MUST transition to another drug (e g. Reclast). The doctor should advise you about this prior to starting Prolia. Amgen does have a warning about this in the insert in the box the injection comes in.
