Hello and welcome
I appreciate your concern
Prolia is the medication of choice in postmenopausal osteoporotic women who are at risk of fractures however it is contraindicated in patients who have low calcium levels. plaster is also used in patients with osteoporosis however the vitamin D and Calcium supplementation should be done to avoid / lessen the symptoms that you experienced last time
Wishing you best of health
Thanks
