Saw my dr yesterday. Cannot take Reclast because I was on Fossmax for several years.

Did your doc say why Prolia was okay after being on Fosamax for a long time? I am curious. They both affect resorption, they both may affect dental issues and atypical fratcures after long term use. Do the years on Prolia and a biphosphonate get added together in terms of risks or are they separate?

But you cannot stop Prolia without losing gains. Reclast stays in the system longer and you can even take breaks.

I asked the question about additive risks when Prolia is taken after years on Fosamax. I will ask my doc.
