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.
