Prolia Treatment and Benefits at All Seniors Foundation

At All Seniors Foundation, we are dedicated to supporting seniors in achieving better bone health. As part of our commitment to senior wellness, we provide Prolia treatments to help combat osteoporosis and other bone-related conditions. Prolia is a prescription medicine specifically designed to strengthen bones and reduce the risk of fractures in those at high risk.

Benefits of Prolia

Prolia offers a range of benefits for individuals struggling with osteoporosis or bone loss caused by various medical conditions or treatments:

  • Improves Bone Density: Prolia strengthens bones, helping to prevent fractures in key areas such as the spine, hips, and wrists.
  • Tailored for High-Risk Individuals: It is an ideal treatment for those who cannot tolerate or have not responded well to other osteoporosis medications.
  • Convenient Dosing: Prolia is administered once every six months, making it a simple and manageable option for maintaining bone health.
  • Versatile Treatment: Prolia is effective for both men and women, addressing bone loss due to menopause, corticosteroid use, or cancer treatments.

Who Can Benefit from Prolia?

Prolia is recommended for individuals who:

  • Are postmenopausal women with osteoporosis at high risk for fractures.
  • Are men with osteoporosis at high risk for fractures.
  • Require long-term corticosteroid treatments and are at risk for osteoporosis.
  • Are men undergoing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for nonmetastatic prostate cancer.
  • Are women receiving certain treatments for breast cancer that increase the risk of bone loss.

What to Expect with Prolia

  1. Assessment and Consultation: Before starting Prolia, our team will work with you and your healthcare provider to assess your overall health, including blood calcium levels and kidney function.
  2. Prolia Administration: The injection is quick and administered every six months by a trained healthcare professional at our facility.
  3. Calcium and Vitamin D Support: To maximize Prolia’s benefits, it is essential to take calcium and vitamin D supplements as recommended by your doctor.

Important Safety Information

While Prolia is highly effective, it is important to be aware of potential side effects and safety precautions:

  • Low Blood Calcium Levels: Prolia may lower calcium levels, especially in individuals with kidney issues. Regular monitoring and supplementation can mitigate this risk.
  • Allergic Reactions: If you experience symptoms like trouble breathing, swelling, or rash, seek medical attention immediately.
  • Severe Jaw Problems: Maintaining good dental hygiene and informing your dentist of Prolia use is essential.
  • Unusual Thigh Bone Fractures: Notify your doctor of any unusual hip, groin, or thigh pain.
