What is minimum period of Alendronate to minimise Prolia rebound?

I would not risk rebound! My doc uses Reclast, once a year, for one or two years I believe, though I don't have experience with Prolia. Your doc can do blood tests to monitor and see what is going on. Do you have an endocrinologist?

Reclast is more potent than Alendronate so I am avoiding that as a relay drug. I read that Reclast would be required to minimise the rebound effect once you are on Prolia for around 2 years or more. I have taken 3 Prolia shots so I am opting for Alendronate instead. No, I am not seeing an endocrinologist hence (unfortunately) I did not have my baseline BTMs recorded before starting treatment. I am wondering if doing BTMs now will be helpful in determining when I can stop my Alendronate
