I have osteoporosis mainly in the spine.I exercise 5 days a werk to help the situation. I don t know if there are any drugs that really help reverse the situation. What is your feeling about Prolia and its sidr effects. I have read them all. Also anything else you can suggest. I am in my 70 s.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Prolia is a brand name of Denosumab and it is a newer drug for the treatment of osteoporosis. It has good results but cost may be a problem. Side effects are reported including eczema and joint pain. Consult with your orthopedics before starting Prolia.
Wishing you good health.
Thanks.
