How Is Reclast Different From Prolia?

I have had 5 infusions of Reclast with no significant side effects. My doctor is considering switching to Prolia. I have an auto immune issue and have hives as a reaction to drugs. What should I know about the diffference in these two medications. I have -3 in the femoral neck in my left hip.
