Members discussed confusion around how long Prolia can be taken, with experiences ranging from being told 10 injections to 10 years (20 injections), and one member sharing they've had 12 injections over 6 years with their doctor mentioning some patients have been on it for 15 years. Several members expressed concern about what happens after stopping Prolia, noting that discontinuation requires transitioning to a relay drug that can cause stomach issues. A recurring theme was frustration with unclear guidance from doctors and the challenge of balancing treatment benefits against potential side effects and long-term unknowns.

I’ve had 12 injections over 6 years & my Rheumatologist told me to keep having them . He mentioned he knows of people being on them for 15 years . My readings have improved slightly . I’m not happy but to stop them you have to go on a relay drug which I’ve read can cause stomach issues .

My concern too Dubeay when I saw my specialist he said he hoped at the end of the 10 years there would be something better.

It's possible, but then why would he put you on that in the first place? Check to see if it's your doctor or insurance that will only do 10.
