Prolia side effect
I have had ongoing cold like symptoms or allergy since first shot in March. Runny nose, congestion, cough sneezing etc. ENT doesn’t see any other issue. Due for my second shot next month. I read that this can be a side effect. Wonder if anyone else has experienced same. Thanks

I received a denosumab injection last week. In the past it was always the name brand Prolia. Last time my health organization switched to name brand Jubbonti, which has only been on the market for 2 months. I never had side effects with Prolia, but as soon as I had the Jubbonti injection I felt burning in my nose. It went away in 20-30 minutes but off and on I seem to have a little bit of a runny nose, and I've never had seasonal allergy issues before.
Interesting-I wonder what is in formula causing reaction. When I see my Endo doc for next injection I will ask! If I have to go off it, a big problem b/c I have tried 3 other drugs all with side effects. Thanks for info.
I find this very interesting. I have had a runny nose for the last couple of years and couldn't figure out what was causing it. Now I have something to reference it too. I have been on Prolia for 2+ years! Thank you.
So glad my info is helpful to you! Once I see my endocrinologist late Sept, I will let you know what he says about this side effect. Thanks
Does anyone see a problem with not using prolia but take allendronate instead?
Are you already on Prolia? That would influence my response.
Are you already on Prolia? If you are, you have to take something if you quit, otherwise you will lose not only any progress you made, but will be worse off than before you started. I read a study that this will happen at about the 6 month mark, the bone loss. In that same study they said fosamax/alendronate was a good alternative if you were quitting Prolia. I have been on Prolia for 5 years, so 10 injections. No discernable side effects. Three weeks ago my health organization switched to Jubbonti, which has the same active ingredient as Prolia. I have had terrible side effects. Burning nose, chest pain, but the worst was the bladder inflammation. I was in bed one day alternating advil, tylenol, with a heating pad on my abdomen. I was treated for a uti just in case that was part of the bladder inflammation equation. I am blaming the drug Jubbonti, which has only been on the market for 2 months. I have already informed my doctor that unless I get an exception, approval for Prolia, I won't be having another injection. In all fairness, maybe it wasn't the new drug, Jubbonti, per se, but rather maybe after 5 years on Prolia/Jubbonti (denosumab) my immune system isn't what it used to be an therefore I had the bladder issue. I am considering not getting another injection in 6 months. Trying to figure it out, where I go from here. I did read a study from the National Institutes of Health that fosamax/alendronate, is an option if one quits Prolia and better than risedronate(actonel).
