Who Wants To Take Prolia?
I have just been reading about Prolia on their website and find the side effects more than troubling. The fact that all the side effects are listed on nearly every page of the website makes it even more worrying. This is direct from their website:
Low calcium levels in your blood (hypocalcemia).
Serious infections.
Serious infections in your skin, lower stomach area (abdomen), bladder, or ear may happen if you take Prolia™. Inflammation of the inner lining of the heart (endocarditis) due to an infection also may happen more often in people who take Prolia™. You may need to go to the hospital for treatment if you develop an infection.
Prolia™ is a medicine that may affect your immune system. People who have weakened immune systems or take medicines that affect the immune system may have an increased risk for developing serious infections.
Call your doctor right away if you have any of the following symptoms of infection:
- Fever or chills
- Skin that looks red or swollen and is hot or tender to touch
- Severe abdominal pain
- Frequent or urgent need to urinate or burning feeling when you urinate
Severe jaw bone problems (osteonecrosis).
Severe jaw bone problems may happen when you take Prolia™. Your doctor should examine your mouth before you start Prolia™. Your doctor may tell you to see your dentist before you start Prolia™. It is important for you to practice good mouth care during treatment with Prolia™.
And so here it goes with more “breakthrough” drugs whose side effects are potentially worse than the disease. When will we stand up and demand Strontium Renelate and the accompanying protocal here in the U.S.?
