Prolia & Hair Loss (Page 10)

Updated

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?

Hi. in reply to your post. I am 77 years old and am now in my second year of Prolia twice yearly injections. In the last two months I have started shedding my hair which is very upsetting and it doesn't appear to be slowing down, I guess that I have lost at least half of my hair in two months, it is scary. I am told that there is no reversal treatment that doesn't have even worse side effects.

You need to go to a Dermatologist so they can check your hair follicles. If they are open, they are capable of making new hair, but if they are closed shut, then no hair can ever grow there again. Prolia has been proven to cause A. Alopecia in a male whose DNA tested it to be impossible. I put up a list of three ingredients for you to take IF your hair follicles are open. This is something most of us have who have had even with one shot of Prolia. Be well~

I too had my first Prolia shot at the end of July and since then have lost over half of my head of hair. It falls out everywhere, also terrible vertigo, headaches and itchy scalp. I wish I had seen the side effect list or had found this site before I had the injection. No more for me as hair loss is so distressing, being bald frightens me. I cannot stop thinking about it as hair is falling out around me all the time. I also have had 9 fractures of the spine so really need some form of treatment. Amgen have a lot to feel guilty about by not disclosing the hair loss side effects and hopefully this will be remedied if enough people complain.

Did you stop the Prolia after the first injection? If so, did you experience the rebound effect, producing less bone density than before taking the Prolia? Also, have you experienced any spinal fractures since then? Many thanks for sharing and I hope that you are doing well.

I suffered terrible hair loss from Prolia. I feel we were not told the truth about the side effects because hair loss is not mentioned anywhere in the literature. I wish there was a legal suit because I would be a part of it. So not right to do this to consumers.

I have told the hospital that I will not have another injection of Prolia .The side effects were too bad to continue. They have suggested Fosomax but I am nervous as there is also a long list of side effects. I am meeting with the Specialist and will inform him of the hair loss so that he can record it. I will need to have a bone scan in due course and will report back the findings. No fractures for one year now.

I have only had two Prolia injections (with terrible side effects), but my DEXA scan was improved greatly. Still not sure if the good outweighs the bad, but I guess I will continue it as long as I can.

After my second prolix shot I lost nearly all my hair. I had some loss while on fossamax also. I also have back pain and dry skin which is not normal for me and have developed hip pain in both hips. No more prolia for me.

I also have been having a problem with my skin. I call them barnicales all over my arms and legs. I thought it was from my type 2 diabetes. I stopped al shots. I was supposed to have one this past May and I called the office and told them no, because of the hair loss, the reaction was as if I said the weather was great, none! I will never have another.

Prolia has a legal suit going on for permanent hair loss, plus many other serious side effects. Is this med for breast cancer?

Re: Poodle (# 179) Expand Referenced Message

Hi. I have now lost nearly all of my hair through the Prolia injection, plus many other side effects, some quite distressing. I reported it to my doctor, chemist, FDA and submitted a report on the Yellow card mhra.gov.uk. If everyone who suffers from these problems reports it to these people something may be done about it to save others from suffering the same fate. Cost of specialist dermatologist, wigs, etc, now nearly £500. Amgem have a lot to answer for. It seems to happen to so many people that they cannot keep denying it.

Re: myst (# 195) Expand Referenced Message

No. Prolia and it's evil twin, Xgeva, only build up bone mass. They can leave a person who had the inj. able to get cancer by deleting many of our T-cells and T-cell helpers. This is exactly why so many of us get all kinds of infections while on Prolia. When our immune system is not functioning properly we can get everything going around, cancer and TB. I have been on this Forum for a long time now and we have only had two ladies with any type of cancer from Prolia. I know this does not solve the problem but it does answer your specific question. Be well~

Re: Sad Lady (# 196) Expand Referenced Message

Question please. When you consulted with your Dermatologist, did s/he tell you that the hair follicles on your scalp are permanently closed? If not, there is help and it comes from an assortment of supplements if and I mean IF you can eat large meals. They have to be taken 3 times/day and I have found them to be quite difficult for my tummy. I have my hair short with handfuls of mousse to make it look a lot more than it is and then an additional product on top of that. I can get by to please 'my vain self' as Diana O. stated it. Please let me know because there is a Medical Paper by two MD's in the USA wherein Prolia caused A. Alopecia in a male when it was totally contrary to his genetics. Be well~

Re: Poodle (# 197) Expand Referenced Message

Thanks for your help. I now wear a wig as I have virtually nothing left. I am seeing the consultant next week and will find out, one way or the other, about regrowth. The side effects are so many and so nasty that people should be informed. At night my legs and feet are either numb or tingling so I cannot sleep. Nothing seems to help, and with the vertigo and ear problems, its a nightmare. I will post the result next week,.

I am on my second year getting Prolia injections. I always loose hair right after the injection but slows down after 4 months. I have to say so far I had no more fractures, so as long as it works for my bones I will keep using it.
