Brief Answer:
Very effective; however alternatives are there

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query in Healthcaremagic.com.
This is Dr. Swarnava Dattagupta answering your query.

I understand your concern.
Prolia contains denosumab, which is a monoclonal antibody used mainly in the treatment of postmenopausal or age-related osteoporosis. It is one of the newer drugs in such condition and is given as subcutaneous injection once every 6 month. The efficacy is quite good, however there are some risk factors. Those who are suffering from long standing kidney or heart diseases, hypothyroidism and weak immune system are generally advised to avoid such injections. In such cases though rare, problems have occurred in the past.
Fosamax or alendronate is an oral medicine used for the same purpose and it is also said to give good results, however the frequency of dosage makes it difficult to continue.
Another alternative in such cases is zoledronic acid, which is given as intravenous injection once a year. The feedback is also quite good.
All these medications have a recommendation of calcium and vitamin D supplements alongwith.

So my suggestion will be to consult your treating doctor about the above options and then proceed with your treatment.

Hope I have answered your question.
If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Follow as advised

Detailed Answer:
Hello.

You can go back to fosamax.
Fosamax contains alendronate and it is quite effective in osteoporosis.
You can take daily dosage but once weekly dosage is more convenient and equally effective.
It can be taken for a period of 3-5 years but you should followup every 6 months and seek your treating doctor's advice for further continuation.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
