Prolia & Hair Loss (Page 4)
(Newest replies 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?

REPORT

I am still losing hair and having trouble with teeth. I have never been the same since I had the Prolia Shot.

I hate it for you. I am a year with no shot but still losing hair which is thin. I think there is hope as women who have undergone rigorous chemo do grow their hair back. That does not help the daily emotional downer of dealing with it though.

These drugs are really horrible. I've been on Fosamax which now I have terrible GERD I've been on Boniva which has given me terrible joint pain and the Prolia which made me lose hair and I have thin hair to begin with. Since I did not have my third shot in April I have noticed the hair on my arms grew back which gives me hope that maybe more hair will grow on top. From what I have read Prolia is a low dose of chemo used for bone cancer so it makes sense that hair loss would be a symptom. I hope everything works out for you in whatever decision you make.

I took 4 shots and from the beginning, my hair started coming out. At first, I didn't associate it with Prolia because my doctor didn't mention anything about side effects. At first, I would see hair in my brush more than usual. As time went by it became hand full and don't let me start on how much hair was in my shower drain. The pain I am familiar with because of fibromyalgia. I have naturally wavy hair and I took pride in my hair, I noticed the texture of my hair has changed and it is very thin. My doctor wants me to do Reclast but I am not its been over a year since my last shot and I just noticed I am not shedding as much hair. Actually, I am tired I usually do everything my doctors ask. The problem I have is I don't feel any better, with the treatments and medication I have done and still doing.. I continue taking vitamins but no more shots. Good luck with what you decide. Also, I have learned about the side effects from the people on medschat, otherwise I would have still been trying to figure out why I was losing my hair.

Re: Mrs t (# 402)

I stopped Prolia--too late after the third injection
Now I have to stop dyeing my hair because my scalp is so dry because of all the hair loss that the traditional dye causes so much irritation and hair falls out all day long it's affecting my moral
There must be alternatives
I hope you find something to replace Prolia and let me know
Thanks and be well

I'm due for my third Prolia shot and bone density and test for vitamin D. My hair has fallen out, just breaking off. The only new med is Prolia shot. After my test l'm going to discuss this with Doctor. I'm so embarrassed of so much hair loss. Wearing baseball caps and order a hair topper. l will not take a third shot, wasn't aware of all the side effects never knew it can cause severe hair loss.

I saw him on TV talk show and they asked him to help this women with hair falling out. Showed before and after. My part was about half inch, no hair but slowly started getting thicker and my hair is now very thick. I am so happy. P.S. not expensive love.

Re: J (# 394)

How many shots did you have? I only had one, a year ago, but still have the after effects.. but yours are way worse than mine. I have the hair loss, and other problems but so far teeth are ok. I am really sorry that you are having to experience these wretched symptoms.

Re: Susan (# 392)

Stopped Prolia after second shot due to hair loss which was November of 2018. I feel I may have some hope because the hair on my arms have grown back and hopefully the hair on my head will come back as well.

Re: J (# 394)

J, your post made me both sad and angry. Sad for you and mad as hell at the drug company that make this crap! First they scare you about osteoporosis then the doctor presents a cure that is way worse than not treating the osteoporosis. Hopefully, someday, the makers will be held accountable and be forced to pay out to the injured parties. And.....if nothing else, they'll pay in the next life!

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.

Had 2 prolia shots. About 3 months after my second shot started my hair loss. Now it’s time for my third shot. Not doing my third shot my hair loss on top of my head is awful. Now buying hair toppers which even makes it difficult to clip on since hair is gone.
