Prolia Side Effects (Page 78) (Top voted first)
UpdatedI would like to know of any side effects others may have experienced after receiving Prolia infusions. Up to now I have none.
If drug sale reps, lawyers, and doctors were forced to get the Prolia shot and suffer bone, joint, and muscle pain, nausea, vertigo, and itch all over for 6 months and longer, we would see the FDA take action. I seriously doubt that any drug rep, doctor, or lawyer would willingly take the shot without researching it and then would flat refuse to get it.
I am one of many fortunate individuals that found this site before taking the recommended Prolia shot. I continue to read all of the side effects from all, and thank each of you for your postings. As I have mentioned before, You mentioned Curves. I also go and do so 5 times a week. I have added 1 lb wrist weights as well as ankle weights to help with the strength training. As time progresses, I will add the next weight level. You would be amazed at the workout I now get simply by adding this to my workout. Try it for building your muscle strength.
Since I have said "no" to Prolia I have been reading "Your Bones" and doing other research. My question is I have found a Bone Basics product by AOR and it lists under Calcium (from Ossein Microcrystalline Hydroxyapatite Complex [MCHC] 1000 mg. My question is - is this Calcium Citrate ? I asked at the Health Food Store and they said it is better than Calcium Citrate. Anybody know about this ? It is described as being an extract from bovine bone from Australian pasture fed, free range lifestock not subjected to antibiotics or rBGH. The product seems to have a good mix of other minerals, and glucosamine HC1 etc. that would seem to promote good bone health....but I would like some guidance. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanx
Let me check with my Pharmacist, and I will provide feedback.
Had Prolia October 2011 have been in agony ever since.
Pain right throughout entire body, sores on scalp, gastro problems, racing heart and no sign of abating
there should be a worldwide class action re this. It has
wrecked my life. Was perfectly healthy till had fall
and broke sacrum then discovered had osteoporosis.
Would be better off just taking Calcium & Vit d. Have
had every blood test, brain scan, heart monitoring etc.
what does this drug leave us with????
My mother is 84. Diabetes 60 yrs. 1kidney heart problems and frail. One month after they injected this 95 lb lady with prolia we are hospitalized with seizures and bladder infections. She was also on prednisone. Should never have been given this drug. Anyone out there experience seizures? I may start the lawsuit as I now have to have 24 hr care for mom. It has totally disabled her
Hey Dee - I can't imagine all of the suffering from the Prolia side effects...my heart goes out to all - every time I read more comments I wonder how long it will take to get Prolia off of the market - permanently! Minnie and Alan - how sad your experiences are....wish I had the answer. And Dee - did you find any info ref that Calcium product from Austrailian livestock? I am a Canadian and local Pharmacy was no help to me. Thanx.
Would you call the dizzy spells seizure like
just received 2nd injection oct 8 2012 really feel exhausted back hurts i have dry patches of skin smiliar to exzema my question has anyone notice alot of muscle loss i didn't seem to notice any side effects 1st time around assumed being tired from just finishing radiation really wondering about this drug i am also on exemestane for stage 1 breast cancer 46yrs old really do not think the this drug makes sense giving me injection because of exemestane effects bones but keeps cancer away but prolia effects calcium level but helps bones they dont even know long term effects i just have an uncanny feeling this time dont know if i will take another shot
I would like to know if there is anyone who has had the prolia shot, and then experienced excruciating and debilitating lower back pain. My question is- has their back pain ever resolved? How long after the last prolia injection did it take for the back pain to diminish?
is there a class action lawsuit related to the side effects that people have experienced with prolia? I am watching my father suffer from debilitating back pain that he did not have until after receiving prolia.
No lawsuit yet but we are all waiting.
I;m still suffering back pain and hand and wrist problems and it's now just over 1 year since my last injection.
Hi CJ
I had my first and last shot of Prolia February 13/12. Concequently I will never have another shot. My hands, feet and lower back are very painful. I can hardly walk some days. I can't open jars etc. My back some days isn't too bad, I still wake in the night and it is because my back is hurting. My pain dr. said it should be out of my system by now - not true. Reading some of the other comments I think we are in for a long wait for this drug to get out of or system. I have heart palpatations I am seeing a Cardiologist on Nov 5 for an echo stress test. Hope we all get better soon. By the way has anyone's blood pressure gone up. Mine was always low 118/72 now it is 150/78. Please let me know. Irene
Had my Prolia shot in August, 2011. Have had a severe unseen burning sensation on my chin, and cheeks. Mouth, teeth and lips burn all the time. Skin of my legs feel strange sometimes. It has completely changed my personality. Eyes feel dry like the moisture is being sucked out of them. I'm just not the same person I once was. I've seen neurologist. Medication does not help. Was glad to find out it wasn't MS or Lupus.
I have been having excrutiating back pain, sore eyes, bony growths on my gums, 4 bladder infections, and I had 1 Prolia injection April 7, 2011. A small tear in my retina appeared out of nowhere, had it corrected by laser treatment - my muscles are very weak, and am very tired, not like me, used to walk 7 miles, now I dread going to the grocery stores. I have been prescribed Tramadol 37.5 for pain, but, this too has so many side effects, don't take it, other pills do nothing.
Do not take any opiots, just finished 7 day run for bladder infection, life has been hell. Doctor this morning asked what is Prolia, he took it down in his ipad, shows, its to be given to people with prostrate cancer.
Cardiologist told me to walk, my left leg has little pulse, and developed red marks and small blood clots, and my legs feel like I would collapse from tiredness.
Hoping for the day I will get better. Have no osteoporosis, the only sin I did, was to fall Dec on an ice piece to feed the birds and broke my wrist. They decided there was a new product on the market, and yes, I was the the lucky one. The doctor never mentioned anything about side effects, I just trusted.
Sad story.
I am going to my pharmacy today, and I will check for you.
Sorry for the delay.
Anyone who has an adverse reaction to Prolia needs to report it to the FDA. Go to their web page and fill in the information. They need to know how serious the side effects are. I still think the research was flawed. I cannot believe the FDA would allow anything as dangerous and detrimental as this on the market. There needs to be a class action lawsuit..
I verified with my pharmacy that the Microcrystalline Hydroxyapatite Complex is the same at Calcium Citrate. They did not confirm it was better, just that it was the same.
Hi Dee - Thanks for confirming the info with your Pharmacist. I am glad I did not try Prolia....fortunately I found this site and let my Doc know that I did not want to use Prolia. I am trying some Coral Calcium in the meantime .... but meantime is there anything can we do to help all of those suffering side effects from Prolia ?
Hi Dee, Saw my urologist a week ago, and told him about Prolia and the side effects that I have and been having. He looked up his ipad, and said, its to be used for Prostrate Cancer. So, this is the latest addition for the use of this awful drug. My rheumatologist didn't even want to talk to me. So much for doctor's concerns.
