Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Badminton dexa scans means that severe to very severe osteoporosis.
It is common in post Menopausal women.
Prolia is Denosumab. It is monoclonal antibody for treatment of osteoporosis.
It is good for bone strength and gives them stability to prevent fractures.
Nothing to worry about this drug. It is having excellent results in post Menopausal osteoporosis.
So start this drug without any fear.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
