Hi there,

Thanks for your query.

Prolia is safer with lesser side effects, as compared to Forteo. It is also convenient to give: one injection every six months. However, Prolia tends to increase cholesterol levels. Addition of cholesterol-lowering drug (called 'Statins'), such as, atorvastatin or Rosuvastatin daily at bedtime will keep cholesterol levels under control.

Inj Forteo is inconvenient, since an injection needs to be taken daily and also has more side effects.

Take Prolia under close supervision of your doctor.
