Prolia and Hair Loss

I have received my first two doses of Prolia this year and am experiencing significant hair loss, its very scary, since I always had a very full head of hair. My question is, if I continue on with the Prolia, will my hair continue to fall out until I am at the point of being bald, since Prolia is a long term medication? Don’t know how the FDA could have approved Prolia, it has some very significant side effects!

Thank you for your reply.

I have very low BP (90/50)and was on Forteo for 2 years with no issues. Everyone is different of course but just wanted to share my positive experience as I know how hard these decisions are.

I can't speak for phyllisden, but I use Crest gum and enamel repair. I recently purchased Crest Densify. I've been on Prolia since Oct. 2020, and so far so good.

I have been on Prolia for 6 years and never experienced anything negative.

My first shot of Prolia I noticed hair loss. The second shot significantly more hair loss. I doubled up on my multiple vitamins and that is helping. Always used a good shampoo but changed to Olaplex No 4. My hair now seems to be under control. I have decided to go off Prolia because it has affected my bones in my hand and one toe that I broke just before my second Prolia shot. The toe was 80 percent healed and 2 weeks after my second shot the joints in my hands and toe seem to have some form of arthritis. Ex rays were taken but I won’t be seeing my rheumatologist until February.

I was on Forteo, daily injections for two years. It was very expensive. In my case it did not stop the progression of my bone density loss. I did have rheumatoid arthritis years ago and what did me in was a long term treatment of prednisone which damages your bones. Forteo may work for others, but it did not for me.
By the way, I stopped eating red meat and that is how I ended my rheumatoid arthritis, but the damage was done.

Are you taking anything now?

4 rounds of Prolia. No new bone scans but I was just turned down for ankle surgery based on demineralization of the ankle bone. I had rheumatoid arthritis and my bones were damaged by being on Prednisolone for more than two years.
