Prolia

My wife gets Prolia shots twice a year to help stave off osteoporosis. After Medicare advantage, she still pays $300 per injection Pretty pricey I would say.

@sue417 - If the only choice you have is to stay on Reclast or move to Prolia, based on what I have learned, moving to Prolia is the right move to reduce your risk of future fractures. I'm currently on Prolia with no issues; however, you want to ensure you get adequate calcium each day or risk hypocalcemia, which is not fun.

Hi
I live in Canada so my shots are covered that's a drag you have to pay that much

@sue417 Thanks for your response. I guess you have many benefits that we don't and vice versa. I wish you well.

@heisenberg34 Pricey, yes. I will start them in the next several weeks. After two years of anastrozole for breast cancer, Fosamax is proving to be ineffective, so my oncologist is switching me to Prolia. I've not yet had any broken bones, but I want to be proactive and not reactive.

@michaellavacot What do you mean by adequate calcium? I'll start it in a couple of weeks.
