Denosumab Prolia side effects

violet46

After having a Prolia injection for Osteoarthritis and not being told about the side effects, I would just like to show what I have found on our governments FDA website and to warn others to be careful when having It, I was also shocked to see what other uses the ingredients in Prolia are used for when I looked them up.

The injection might be ok for some people but not everyone

@violet46 As far as I know Prolia is given for osteoporosis not osteoarthritis. I have osteoporosis and osteoarthritis of the the right hip. I had a bone scan recently and the doctor wants me to start on Fosamax (bisphosphonates) again which I am not keen to do. I haven't been offered Prolia but will check out the side effects. Have you had side effects? Do you have osteoarthritis as well?

I am supposed to be having the right hip replaced on 26 November and have just been for pre-op assessment which has sent me into a state of anxiety and depression as I hardly know how to face it.

Hope you don't have any side effects.

Hi distantshores, sorry yes it is Osteoporosis I do not have not Osteoarthritis.The side effects i have is worse bone pain than before having the injection, hair falling out, had an ear infection and had to have loose tooth taken out, you must let dentist know if you are on Prolia before having dental work done,I will definitely never have any more bone medications.

I just wish Drs would try these medications before prescribing them.

look on Ask a patient on the net to see what others have to say about it

There is a Law Suite happening in Canada regards Amgen and Prolia. I did'nt like the fact that Hampster ovaries,are used in it and one of the ingredients is also used in drain cleaners.

I always like to look up ingredientsi n medication before I take them.
