Prolia & Hair Loss (Page 5)
(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?

It is a vicious circle and it's good to know about this new cure you've described besides the GERD meds. Some days it's controllable without the use of meds but then it acts up again and then on the Zegerid again!

Re: susan (# 378)

I also experienced the GERD and took the acid drugs for 2 years which contributed to the bone loss. There are magnetic implants you can get for the opening in the esophagus that control the opening of the esophagus and stop the GERD. It looks like a ring and it is day surgery to implant it. Then you don't need the drugs to control the GERD. It was like some awful circle.. you get the GERD and take the drugs which tear down the bones then you take the drug to build the bone which gives you GERD... etc.

I have a problem with hair loss as well. I am using xarelto 20 mg, eltroxin150ug, spiractin 25mg, lioresal 25mg, aspavor 10mg, hexa-block 25mg, as well as Xanor 1mg and tramahexal Co 37,5 for pain. I really have terrible hair loss. I have been using various multivitamins containing iron, replenish k, slow mag and B-CAL-D. Also omega 3,6 & 9. I have also used various products on the market for hair loss without success. Please advise me...

Re: Dawn (# 384)

Eyes opened: I had one shot a year ago and am still experiencing all of the yucky symptoms- hair loss, bone pain, rashes, mouth infections. I just had to have one of my parathyroids removed because of a tumor. I am not necessarily linking that to Prolia. HOWEVER, prior to taking Prolia I had high calcium blood readings-- these went down after Prolia. Had I understood about parathyroid function, I never would have gotten the Prolia shot. Evidently the parathyroid controls the calcium production and a problem with it leads to osteoporosis. That is probably why the bone scan indicated the osteo. If I had known, I could have perhaps taken care of the parathyroid problem and avoided the Prolia. So, I am guessing if you are diagnosed with osteo, check out your parathyroid and maybe avoid the whole Prolia nightmare. Right now I am rebuilding the calcium levels and the parathyroid doc says the indications of osteo should diminish over time. I just did not know that the high calcium levels could indicate a parathyroid problem.

This medication is poison to the body. I had one injection on Mar 7th and have suffered severely. I had hair loss and now it is starting to come back. I am nurse and curse trusting the system that once I loved. You need to read this sight and see what others have experienced. It will shock you. Dawn from Canada

Everyone on this chat site should call both the FDA and Amgen to report the hair loss and other problems that are not in the literature.

Re: Lizzie (# 372)

I have just decided to look into the new drug I am on for my thyroid and found that it also causes hair loss. I have been having a lot of dizzy spells so I am trying to take the drug every other day for now.

I use SHANN CHRISTIAN BIO MED shampoo - It works on getting new hair growth. Been using it for over 2 years and my hair always has new growth. It really works for me. Now my part is full and No bald line. It helped a woman on the tv show the Doctors and results were amazing so I have been using it for a couple of years. Not expensive.

Re: susan (# 377)

Like me, my sister was on Fosamax for years starting in the mid 90s. She ended up with an esophagus that was entirely ulcerated. She was in the hospital in very serious condition for two weeks and her doctors said it WAS caused by Fosamax. My doctor vehemently denies side effects from Prolia, but I definitely experienced hair loss. It has been ten months since my last Prolia shot (the third) and while I am not noticing re-growth, I think the loss I notice when shampooing is a little less. One clear sign that it was Prolia is that I am again shaving my legs after not having to do so for months. The hair loss was but one of the side effects I experienced.

Re: Debbie (# 376)

When I took the oral Fosomax I experienced terrible GERD and all the doctors involved said it was not due to that drug. Now years later they all agree and it is now listed as a side effect. GERD is now an illness I deal with almost daily and the drugs to help keep the acid down (get this) can cause bone loss. Go figure! Some where in this post it was mentioned that hair loss is on one of the end pages of the drug information but again my doctors are adamant that the drug does not cause hair loss.

Re: Debbie (# 373)

It doesn’t say anything about hair loss. When I wrote that, I missed the word and wrote that it does talk about hair loss but No it definitely does not in the Prolia documents.

Re: Momo (# 375)

This drug is a scam for doctors to rip off Medicare. $1300.00 per shot and in three years there was never any improvement in my bone scans. The only improvement went in the doctors pocket. This is a major rip off to the poor unsuspecting patient. I too have had many health problems since I went with my doctor's advice for these Prolia shots. A class action suit is what should be happening but once again the laws broken are many.

From Prolia—- hair loss, teeth had 4 root canals, almost lost all my teeth. Other side effects almost killed me. If ever they take this company to court for all the problems and sickness for taking this shot, I’m there all the way. Something needs to be done about what happens to people. I’m always ready to share my experience.

Yes! Same here! Hair loss has happened and continues to get worse. My hair is much shorter now when I never cut it. I used to have long beautiful hair before the poison was injected to me. Also, I have pain in my back and in my feet. I also have muscle weakness in my arms and hands. I have never in my life ever been weak before. I used to be a private personal trainer in fitness. So yes! Everyone who took a shot of Prolia should get together and come up with a really good plan to file a lawsuit against Amgen and all the people who created this type of drug. In the documents before one decides to take it.. it does say anywhere that it could cause hair loss. Doctors pond it off like it is the best thing for your bones but in reality, it is the worst drug for your bones. How could they claim it is good for your bones when it literally stops your bones from rebuilding and instead it builds on old bone leaving you with even more fragile bones than before. I wish these drug companies could tell the truth about every little thing that is in the drug and exactly how it is made. Also the ones creating it should test it on themselves before giving it to the public as their personal Guinea pig. Will I ever have my beautiful hair back or my strength?

Karen (# 371) --

Thanks for your response. I have been taking synthroid, but the hair loss has not stopped (even though the shots were stopped a year ago). I am sorry about the pain you are experiencing. While I am uhappily experiencing the hair loss, I have not had to undergo the discomfort you are dealing with.

I have just started taking levothyroxine. I take it late at night or early in the A.M. I have also had my medicine for high blood pressure increased. I am in terrible pain right now in my hands with all of these lumps on both sides of my fingers. I wish I had never taken Prolia.
