I Am 83 With Severe Osteoporosis . Previously Treated For
Question: I am 83 with severe Osteoporosis. Previously treated for 2 yrs. with Forteo injections. High B/P is under control, Chronic Lymphocite Leukemia is under control, mild bladder leakage, severe reaction to mosquito bites which blister & often causes the leg to turn red with infection then a course of antibiotics (sensitive skin also dry). I have numbness in the 2 last digits of the left hand, I have chronic post nasal drip and sinus problems. Otherwise, I am fine.
Please help me to decide between the Prolia & the Reclast!
Brief Answer:
I recommend reclast.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
In our clinic we prefere Prolia because we find it more effective. Prolia can't be used if you use chemotherapy drugs and prednisone that you may be using due to leukemia.
I think you better use reclast. It is effective and with less interactions.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
