How many days after Prolia injection should I wait before getting DEXA

@pavi Prolia won't effect the result of the DXA scan in any way. Unless you mean would you gain or lose bone a number of weeks or months after a Prolia injection. But the accuracy of a DXA would not change due to a Prolia shot.

@awfultruth so how long does it take for the DEXA test o show results of taking Prolia?

@sequoia I really don't know. If someone were getting great results I'd guess a month or two. But then the result would be so small that you would still have margin of error concerns and you wouldn't know on the first scan if you could trust that an increase really was a gain. If you kept doing it then you could know whether to trust the early scans as you could see a trend. I cannot remember if I've ever seen studies where they took DXAs more often than 6 month intervals? Certainly by 6 months you could see where you were headed if you were getting good results. And if no gain you could probably surmise it was not working well for you.

@awfultruth Thanks. I agree

I would think that 5 months after a Prolia injection might be the best timing for detection of effectiveness. If not working, then there would be time to switch medication before any rebound would set in.
