Has Anyone Replaced Prolia With Reclast?

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Odessa, FL

I am 71 years old and was diagnosed with osteoporosis at age 50. I took Prempro for a year and then it was recalled from the market. Then I took Actonel for about five years, but it stopped working.

Experience With Fosamax?

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Novato, CA

Hi, my mom (67) was diagnosed with Osteo one year ago but does not want to take any medication. Her doctor recommended Fosamax. What have been your experiences with it? Positive and negative.

Or with Actonel, Boniva, Reclast? Or something else?

I want to try to help her find a treatment to prevent her from having a fracture or further bone loss.

A MyOsteoTeam Member

I was originally taking Prolia and then I moved over to Kaiser in 2022. and they gave me reclast. I had an allergic reaction to it.
