Prolia Issues And Side Effects (Page 7)
(Newest replies first)

I am not going to have my next shot of Prolia due 11 June. I have already had two injections and lately have suffered horrible side effects such as terrible constipation, leg and foot cramps, skin rashes, stomach pain,etc.

I also found out that Prolia works by stopping the body's own bone production, causing old bone to become denser. This results in probable fractures due to old brittle bones, Prolia also causes low calcium levels in the blood, a weird side effect seeing it is supposed?to strengthen boned!

REPORT

My 3rd injection was 8/13/14 in October I started getting mouth pain went to the dentist new dentures in the 8 months I have suffered everyday and night I have been to oral surgeons, ent. I now have tmj. I am 44 and this injection has ruined the quality of my life. I have another appt in June at the Cleveland clinic. I will never recommend this injection. The FDA has no idea of long term side affects.

I read a report not long ago on the study of osteoporosis drugs and showed they had no results in building bone. It made fractures worse and slower healing. Will never take another drug for osteoporosis. Walking and other weight bearing exercises will help and calcium and vitamin d at the proper levels.

I am sorry to hear what you have been through. I agree with you that Prolia could have contributed to what happened. What I have been reading about Prolia has convinced me to pass on that remedy.

I do not think the FDA is interested in suffering patients in Australia!

I do take Vitamin D and try and eat a well balanced diet, however aI have had 8 back surgeries in the last 25 years and now have chronic pain syndrome.

The side effects from the Prolia just add to the overall misery.

Vitamin D and Magnesium are also important for bone health and density. Have either of your doctors recommended supplementing with any nutrients to use alongside the Prolia? I'm not a doctor myself, but perhaps overtime you may not have to rely on Prolia as much if you're taking other preventative measures as well through diet and exercise.

It's unfortunate that many types of prescriptions can backfire with side effects that are almost opposite of what it's intended to treat. Hopefully you're not experiencing any more negative reactions to the Prolia... but if you do you can always report serious side effects to the FDA via their MedWatch Program at: fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch/default.htm

I hope this helps!

Judy,

I am also s high risk fracture patient, but increasing bone mass with old bone does not decrease your fracture risk.

Prolia just increases bone mass by stopping the body's own bone remodeling process, It can also decrease blood calcium levels, which is a strange side effect for a supposed bone strengthening drug!

I am sorry for your pain and suffering, I am on the "high risk list" for fractures, so having a product that has rebuilt bone mass in MY body is a blessing. No, I don't like the side effects, but I don't want to be in a wheel chair either..
Good Luck To You and Blessings
Judy
