Anyone have any experience with either Prolia or Recast, like side effects and risks?

I avoided medication so far, but the endocrinologist insists I have to go on medication now. He has given me two options Prolia or Recast. Does anyone have any experience with either one of these medication, like side effects and risks?

Best of luck to you. It is a daunting journey trying to find what works for you. I had IV Reclast in the past and am currently in my 9th year of Prolia injections. Make sure you have access to an endocrinologist (if possible.)

I 've been taking Prolia for the past year absolutely no side effects. The end of this month i'm due for a dexa scan to see if the prolia is working.My advice is to listen to your doctor,you do not want a hip fracture or worse. I talked to others that take prolia and 2 friends on recast infusion. Please believe me not one of them have had side effects.I'm sure there is someone out there that have had side effects but I've yet to encounter anyone as of yet..
GOD BLESS AND GOOD LUCK.I PROMISE YOU,HEYYY YOU'LL BE JUST FINE.👋🙏🏼

Prolia is a biologic drug given by injection every 6 months. Here are the common side effects:
• Bone or muscle pain
• Urinary tract infections
• Cold symptoms

More serious but rare side effects can include:
• Upper leg fractures
• Severe rashes and skin infections
• Osteonecrosis of the jaw (particularly after dental work) Studies show that after 12 months of taking Prolia, bone pain tends to improve for most people. Both medications you mentioned belong to different drug classes - Prolia is a biologic antibody while Reclast is a bisphosphonate. Bisphosphonates work by reducing the activity of cells that break down bone and are typically given as yearly IV infusions.

It's understandable to feel hesitant about starting medication, but working closely with your doctor to monitor any side effects can help ensure the best outcome for your bone health.
