Prolia & Hair Loss (Page 24)

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?

We just have to remember that we are still ourselves and battle the feeling that Prolia's side effects rob us of our identity... which, I know is easier said than done. The potential for tooth loss is even more frightening.. but at least that is listed in the side effects so you can make an informed decision before starting the drug. They have yet to list hair loss as a side effect.

That’s the way I felt about Forteo. I know these are not the same drug.
I thought the side effects would never stop.

I was told the same thing about side effects. I did Forteo and then my doctor prescribed Prolia. It’s been several years and I have never felt good since, one issue after another. My biggest issue is hair lost it was so bad I needed a hair net when cooking. The last time I saw the doctor he wanted me to do Reclast Infusion. I haven’t been back that was 4 years ago. I take vitamins and do my best to not fall. One lesson I learned I research all my medications.

Yes, my hair really fell out after my second shot and I felt terrible all the time and my legs really hurt, especially when lying down!
My dr. said , when I asked about side effects, "not much of anything." Realy!!! I quit and feel back to 100%. All I take now is Vitamin D and B12. I should take calcium but cannot tolerate it if I want to be out of the bathroom. Also research everything now - but don't trust what the drug companies put out. Kaye

Prolia caused my hair to thin, as I have stated many times, Prolia was a horrible drug for me. Back and joint pain, permanent damage to my whole body. I tolerated 7 shots and with each shot I got worse! I finally did research and found out that it is used for bone cancer patients. A form of Chemotherapy, yes. I will never take another Prolia shot, I suffered and still have permanent problems because of this horrible drug. A nightmare for me!!

I found the same connection to cancer. You would not believe how badly I was talked to when I mentioned that! I’m so relieved to read that you found the same connection to cancer! Kaye

Re: Sue (# 469)

Me too! I submitted my side effect of hair loss to the FDA using the link on their website. This is how the company gets information about side effects after a drug is on the market. You really can’t blame them for not listing a side effect that only becomes apparent when thousands of people are using the drug after it is on the market. If we don’t report it then the company will never know.
