Members shared overwhelmingly positive experiences with Prolia injections for osteoporosis, with most reporting no side effects over treatment periods ranging from one to six years, and many emphasizing the importance of taking calcium and vitamin D supplements alongside the medication. Several members described successful outcomes including improved bone density scores, reversal of osteoporosis to osteopenia, and maintained bone strength, though a few noted continued fractures or minimal improvement despite treatment. A recurring theme was the need for regular monitoring through DEXA scans and blood work to check calcium and vitamin D levels, with some members mentioning transitions to other medications like Reclast or concerns about bone loss after stopping Prolia.

I had Prolia injections for over 4 years, no side effects. Reversed my osteoporosis. Now classified as having osteo penia. I am on Reclast infusion for now to avoid rebound effects of having had the prolia. My doctor will be testing me every 6 months until he is happy i am stable, then hopefully stop all drugs?! He said I was the most successful case he had ever treated. I credit it to being closely watched by doc since diagnosed with osteopenia 5 years ago, being very active and fit for an old gal at 67 years old, and for keeping up vitamin D and Calcium supplements. Good luck to you all.

Do you get blood tests before your prolia injection. Your vit d needs to be at normal range to have the injection
