Prolia

Posted by sue417 @sue417, Jul 27 6:33pm

Hi
I would like to hear from people that have been on prolia a long-term and how it's helped.
I have been on reclast for 4 years I have three fractures in my spine one is 3 years old the other two or two years old I recently woke up with severe back pain and all three vertebrae have collapsed farther I'm really upset. So with my health issues the only medication that I'm able to do now is prolia the injections twice a year I really would like to find out what people have done and how they feel on it

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

@sue417 No idea whether this article would be somehow helpful to you as a Canadian: https://www.ontario.ca/files/2024-06/moh-questions-answers-executive-officer-notice-en-2024-06-13.pdf as it mentions 3 brands for teriparatide, which works more or less the same as abaloparatide (in the US sold as Tymlos). The main difference between teriparatide and aboloparatide is that teriparatide needs to be kept in the fridge for daily use and abaloparatide can be kept at room temperature.

@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.

No I've already tried forteo can't take it causes brutal joint pain and muscle pain. Evenity can't take that because I've had a TIA. Tymlos is not available in Canada. Apparently prolia is the only choice I have left
