How Can Severe Rheumatoid Arthritis Be Treated?
I m 84, and trying to decide if I should take Prolia for my bones. I ve had horrible side effects for many drugs for pain, RA ;which was a false diagnosis;, and for many oral arthritis drugs in the past. Can you help me decide? I am allergic to chemicals and some pollen. Martha Dyrda

Hello,
Prolia is a medication used to treat osteoporosis.
It can cause many side effects such as allergic reaction and also can affect your immune system.
So,in my opinion I do not recommend you to take this medication,
if you have already suffered side effects from other medications.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi,
