Prolia & Hair Loss (Page 24) (Top voted first)

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?

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

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.

I have had 3 Prolia shots over the last 2 years. Each time I have had major hair loss. I did skip 6 months without a shot just to see if my hair quit falling out and it did. I do not know why this is not listed as a side effect for women but I will not take another shot..or I will be bald.

My name is Lavettah Brewer,I am still experiencing the problem with my teeth. I just had to have another tooth pulled due to taking Prolia shot. It almost killed me and I still suffer from after effects. All my teeth are loos and one had died which had to be pulled. There is always the chance that it want heal. It has been 3-31/2 years and I still have problems. My hair falls out by the hand full. There is so much difference in my health now,then before I took that shot.

Re: Gloria (# 411)

That is exactly right and I searched it as well that it is a low dose of chemo used for bone cancer. Hair loss happened to me after my second shot and I was even stunned at the hair on my arms were gone. I never did the third shot in April and to my surprise the hair on my arms have grown back and the hair on my head seems to be filling in somewhat and there are not so many sparse thin patches. I have been taking biotin which I have been told will help existing hair so maybe that's why my hair has been feeling a little bit thicker and plumper. I'm glad you have no more problems with your teeth and jaw and hopefully by not taking this horrible drug anymore your hair will come back as well. Best of luck Gloria

Just lost another tooth!then had infected gum.,now one is half broke off.i am hoping a root Chanel can be done to save it. My hair is so thin I have to use that powder stuff and paint my head, to fill in where my scape is showing. That shot almost killed me.my primary Doctor told me if I took another shot it would kill me. I would not recommend it be given to anyone.
