Prolia & Hair Loss (Page 7)

I've just recently had my second Prolia shot. So far so good...a little back pain. I continually have stress fractures on my feet and have also taken fosamax. My current problem is hair loss & I wondered if anyone else was having that problem?

Funny, but I was thinking the very same thing.
They don't list hair loss as a side effect. I am going to look for another option. Prolia is not for me.

One lady said she would rather have the hair loss than fractures. I think there are enough possible side effects that I can't justify taking it. Both my MD and my Dentist said they felt the possible side effects were preferrable to the bone issues. I have always listened to my doctors, but this is the exception. I'm going rogue and praying my hair will recover, but 2 years later it has not. Sounds vain, but it was long and has always been the asset people complimented me on.

Hair loss has been a nightmare. Every day I see more and more hair loss. I dread having to wash my hair because the floor of the shower is covered. I want to stop Prolia.

Yes I am daily. My hair is coming out by the handfuls. Much upset and not sure what to do. Andrea

I thought about hair extensions, but it's expensive. I thjnk we just have to make the best of it and hope it grows back. I just won't take Prolia again.

Actually it is saw palmetto for women, complex of B vitamins and vitamin A. Took me a very long time of searching the net to find the exact combination we need. It will stop the hair loss and with the vitamins added in it will stimulate new growth and that is why the vitamins were added into the mix. I'm getting into mine as soon as my surgery is over on Tuesday. It obviously cannot work while on Prolia but when off of it our hair should return to better than normal. I'm tired of shedding worse than a dog. Somehow I wonder if Prolia really has more of it's twin, exgiva, in it. The twin is for chemo. Another lie by Amgen??? Pood

Been on Peoria for six months. Had my first shot now due for second. Cancelled my second appt. Due to hair loss and itching. After reading these reports from others and finding out it is a drug used in chemo. Really makes me angry. Dr told me he could give me thr injection but when I got my first shot,I had to go to the infusion dept to receive the injection. Which is where you go for chemo. I had bad feelings before I started should have went with my instincts.

I had to go to an infusion center at the hospital. A bit disconcerting. I've had 3 shots and each time I have lost a ton of hair. I wont take this shot ever again. I wish there was a legal suit about this. I would be first in line.

Gosh Linda and Shirley...an infusion center? I really did not know it was related to a chemo drug. I think there should be a legal suit and I certainly will join that. I did also have skin itching, but it was not severe, and until now I did not even think about it as a side effect of Prolia. I would like to hope at least we don't get cancer since it's partially chemo related...

I am very surprised that this hasn't happened yet. I am not getting any more shots and when I told the nurse why, she just wanted to stop the conversation.

Poodel, did you follow this conversation? This is about a twice yearly shot and not a medication taken by mouth.

I also think we should be able to sue the doctors involved who started this to make a buck. Two years later and no improvement showing on the back scan.

Me too! I have stopped all treatments and my hair is still falling out.

REPLY

I understand that. My doctor is not very happy with me however it is my body and I do have a say as to medications and supplements. :(

Lois and Karen, you really do have to do what you think is best. I really am not getting good reports on Prolia, but maybe those who feel good taking it don't come online about it.

Karen~I obviously know what Prolia is and how it is given since I had one inj. that almost killed me. Any more questions?
