Prolia treatment for osteoporosis: What is your experience?
Osteoporosis & Bone Health | Last Active: Jul 13 3:27pm | Replies (1246)Comment receiving replies
I was diagnosed with osteoporosis three years ago and developed MRONJ after the first Prolia shot. Since then I have not used any osteoporosis medications and I am wondering if Medicare covers Forteo or Tymlos after a patient has had MRONJ.

Yes I would think so. Tymlos does not cause MRONJ. It grows bone but does not affect resorption/turnover. Insurance will cover Tymlos if you cannot take Prolila or biphosphonates (both of which can cause MRONJ). It is terrible that you developed this after one shot!
