Prolia Issues And Side Effects (Page 4)
(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!

My understanding of this communication stream is that it is used to report possible side effects of Prolia and provide communal support for those experiencing them. Why are you here?

Mason (# 64) --We do not choose to take it. It is forced upon us by our medical community. Look at the side effects which include death. That's something to be concerned about in my point of view. You simply do not know what we are talking about I am sorry to say. Please find a better place to focus your views because males can easily get osteoporosis too. Medical Fact! Be well~Pood

also low potassium. Some ladies get more calcium than is normal and Prolia makes bones deposit bones where they are not supposed to be and inoperable such as on the bone that holds in the eye, sinus area, top of shoulders near neck and heart. It takes about 3 different surgeons to work on the shoulder/neck bone deposit. Lovely drug and for the life of me I am unable to understand the reasoning for it being released in the first place. It simply was a wonder drug that wasn't. Be well~Pood

I don't have male pattern baldness in that sense. My hair is just thinning. I've never been the most attractive guy so I'm certainly quick to jump on those stricken by vanity. You're all grappling to a dying sense of superiority based upon your looks. It's pathetic.

Your ailments, while unfortunate, have in no way been proven related to Prolia, per se. My mother has terrible osteoporosis and I am quite familiar with it. There are many treatments available. None of which have been proven to be effective. If you want to complain about a drug you have voluntarily taken then rant away.

As far as debilitating, life-altering, depressing, disfiguring, or just incredibly hard to live with side effects.. you have no idea and you sound like an entitled teenager with acne. There are people out there with much, MUCH worse conditions than your symptoms from a drug you chose to take. Spare us your diatribe. No lawyer is going to back you and your "vengeance" falls on deaf ears. There is nothing to prove. Your words mean nothing.

I am 55 & high risk but I am terrified by what I have read about side effects. From what I have read it causes the same problems it is supposed to stop... I have been told I could have a fall, break my hip & end up in a wheelchair but this doesn't seem like a great alternative.

Re: Mason (# 62)

I suppose you are aware that sudden hair loss may be a sign of illness in its own right. I am not referring to male pattern baldness, which may be the cause of thinning hair in men.

You may also be aware that the majority of contributors to this and related threads have been diagnosed with osteoporosis and subsequently are suffering from side-effects of Prolia. The many and varied side-effects reported by contributors include those that are extremely serious and totally debilitating, life-altering, depressing, disfiguring, or just incredibly hard to live with. Hair loss is an issue for many.

My own experience with Prolia is mainly autoimmune issues: a variety of skin issues, massive lethargy and lots more. Then the has been the inability to work coupled with massive expenses for investigations and failed treatments. I have got off very lightly compared to most people.

The poster here mentioned factually that she is suffering hair loss. Most of us do. But how do you think it feels to lose your hair when you are already sick and miserable? Pretty darned depressing, that's what, especially if the anti-itch shampoo is stripping the color out and your skin looks like you are probably contagious with bubonic plague.

That's not my idea of vanity.

I'm a 41 year old male. My hair is thinning. So what? Can we put a stop to this constant vanity bickering. So you're losing hair. Guess what... it's called aging.

This crap is always blowing up the posts on here. Get over yourself, and your vanity. Focus on your HEALTH.

Re: Ida (# 20)

Yes- after 5 weeks my hair is noticeably thinning and the loss is increasing daily. It is really awful.

I have decided not to take any of the drugs, including and especially Prolia for my Osteoporosis. I will not take a chance on the terrible side effects, not just as reported here but what I've personally witnessed from friends and co-workers. I think the cover-up by the FDA is a disgrace, my own doctor wasn't aware of how serious things were til her patients started telling her.

Re: Sal (# 54)

Which bone supplements and what research shows them to be ineffective? People I know take Strontium Citrate and find it builds bone over time. Was this supplement included in that paper?

I don't believe the FDA is interested in anyone's misery.

I too am a chronic pain sufferer, and Prolia only increased my misery too.

Never will I take another dose of Prolia or any other drug.

Re: Sodapop (# 52)

It seems to be a common response: "None of my other patients have complained of that". I find it to believe that we are the only ones! Perhaps they are not listening, or perhaps they don't take us seriously. When U complained that my body felt like a block of cement, I was told it was just my Fibromyalgia. 3 doctors later, when someone actually listened to me, it turned out that I had HypoCalcemia...a KNOWN side effect! Was I angry!

Re: Linda (# 22)

Same thing happened to me three months after my first injection.i researched a study before the shot that cited many people stopped taking the drug due to constipation. When I discussed it with my doctor he said none of his patients suffered from that. I exercise daily, drink pleanty of water and fiber. Nothing short of a stimulant has worked

I already had some hair loss from current meds I'm on. Taking the Prolia hasn't helped. Praying I can get my body into balance better this year.

Hugs to all!

Re: Poodle (# 19)

Annie and Poodle, in Australia we have the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), part of the Commonwealth Health Department. They have a database of adverse events. Up to September 2017 there have been 480 reports of adverse events relating to Prolia. You probably know this by now, but the whole Prolia thing is fairly new to me. Unfortunately, I am becoming intimately acquainted with Prolia and its dreadful side-effects.

Re: Sharon (# 41)

That's a very good comment and they all seem to have the same end results from the commercials on TV. I fail to understand our drug industry at this time. Biologics for everything including acne. No Thank You!
