Hi,

Prolia injection is quite effective for the management of osteoporosis (decreased bone density). Beside its effectiveness its been quite safe. Though there may be few side effects like any drug. Few of them may look quite weird however such side effect do not occur commonly. They occur very uncommonly and most patients do no have any problem with the drug. So if needed it's worth getting the Inj. Still the possibility of side effects cannot be ruled out how rare it might be. But the benefits in such patients are much more then any possible risk.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mahboob Ur Rahman, General & Family Physician
