Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.

Prolia (Denosumab) injections are indicated for post menopausal osteoporosis in whom the risk of fractures is high.

Denosumab injection is associated with numerous side effects and one has to weigh the risk-benefit ratio before taking any medicine. So, I suggest you to approach your treating doctor and discuss the issues.

Hope this information is helpful. Good day
