I have been taking the Prolia Shot for 5 years now and have moved out of Osteoporosis to Osteopenia without ANY side effects. Prior to this treatment I had a terrible time trying several other drugs to treat Osteo. I am so thankful Prolia has worked great for me.

I am leaving this review for a relative who, after her third dose, did not live to leave this review. I feel it is very important to warn others and hope it saves someone. I don't know if it was helping her bones, so I cannot say anything on that. However, I do know she had itching after her second dose.

I am leaving this review for a relative who, after her third dose, did not live to leave this review. I feel it is very important to warn others and hope it saves someone. I don't know if it was helping her bones, so I cannot say anything on that. However, I do know she had itching after her second dose. After her third dose, she started declining very rapidly starting several hours after the shot. She was down with flu-like symptoms, then vomitting, advancing to dehydration over a week's time. At the end of that week, she went into liver failure, kidney failure, then shock and sadly, death. Again, very active and healthy prior. All viruses and bacterial cultures were negative, all other testing revealed no cause. All we have to explain it is the "coincidental" timing of this shot. There is no other explanation for her rapid decline. Please, please be very cautious.

I read pros and cons and decided not to have my next shot until a bone density was done. After 2 years my bone density showed I had dropped from osteoporosis to mild osteopenia. My doctor double checked the numbers - it was such a delightful surprise. At that point I decided to continue taking the shots and I supplement with Bone Basics daily. I love that I only have to remember every 6 months to ... Show Full Comment

I love that I only have to remember every 6 months to get treatment and I have had no side effects that I am aware of. I am blessed and I wish the government in Ontario, Canada would fund this for seniors. With memory decline, it is much easier for a senior to remember to have an injection every 6 months than to take a drug once a week/remember not to eat food for an hour after/ etc. I even went downhill skiing this year without fear!

DO NOT LET ANY DOCTOR TALK YOU INTO A PROLIO SHOT. IT MAKES THE PAIN WORSE. DR. BELLAM TOLD ME IT WAS FOR POST MENAPAUSAL OSTEOARTHRITIS. I HAD A COMPLETE HYSTERECTOMY WHEN I WAS 42. I AM NOW 60. THE OSTEOPOROSIS STARTED AFTER A CAR ACCIDENT. DO NOT COUNT ON HIM TO FOLLOW UP WHEN YOU ARE IN PAIN!
