PROLIA  (DENOSUMAB):  Denosumab is used to treat bone loss (osteoporosis) in women who are at high risk for bone fracture after menopause. It is also used to treat bone loss in men who are at high risk for bone fracture. Osteoporosis causes bones to become thinner and break more easily. Your chance of developing osteoporosis increases after menopause (in women), as you age, if someone in your family has osteoporosis, or if you take corticosteroid medications (such as prednisone) for long periods. Denosumab is also used to treat bone loss in women who are at high risk for bone fracture while receiving certain treatments for breast cancer. Denosumab is also used to treat bone loss in men who are at high risk of bone fracture while receiving certain treatments for prostate cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body. This medication works by slowing bone loss to help maintain strong bones and reduce the risk of broken bones (fractures). Denosumab belongs to a class of drugs called monoclonal antibodies. It prevents certain cells in the body (osteoclasts) from breaking down bone.    (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  Osteopenia Severe spine, thigh, and arm pain, especially at night. Difficulty sleeping, with restlessness and constant waking. Extremely tired and unable to walk for more than 10-15 minutes without resting. I will not have another injection. So many drugs that are harmful to people are pushed out into the marketplace without adequate testing. As a society, we have become walking guinea pigs for the drug companies. Had one injection three months ago. F 77 0 days

 1  osteoporosis Delay in getting Prolia shot was associated with change in doctors at a university medical center. This resulted in multiple vertebral compression fractures. Severe pain, disability and deformity. I can no longer live my normal active life. The word "DELAY" appeared NOWHERE in any information I was given. My doctor retired & new doctor could not see me immediately and nothing was done to make sure I got shot on time. Bones fractured in WEEKS of when that shot was due. While bones have healed, deformity and pain persist. They put me back on Prolia and now that I've learned more I would like to get off it but there seems to be no way to do this SAFELY!!! Even switch to other drugs could be dangerous. And Prolia didn't do much for the osteoporosis. F 83 7 years
