"What I'm working on with my doctor is a plan that includes exercising, eating right and taking a medicine called Prolia® along with calcium and vitamin D," said Danner. "Every woman is different, and I encourage women to work with their doctors on a plan that is right for them."

Fosamax is usually the first-choice option for osteoporosis. But Prolia may be preferred in people with very high fracture risk. The most common side effects of Boniva and Fosamax are gastrointestinal symptoms like acid reflux, nausea, and diarrhea.

Specifically, Prolia works by blocking a protein called RANK. The drug attaches to the RANK protein and helps prevent osteoclasts from breaking down bone. Over time, Prolia helps to improve the density and strength of your bones by slowing bone loss. This lowers your risk for bone fractures.

In this study, the females' bone mineral density (BMD) was measured. (BMD is a measurement that shows how strong your bones are.) After 12 months of treatment, BMD measured at the hip was increased by 3.5% in females taking Prolia.

Official answer. Yes, Prolia (denosumab) does increase bone density.

It is important that you should NOT stop Prolia without discussing this with your healthcare professional. Stopping Prolia can cause an increase in the number of multiple vertebral fractures often within a year of stopping.

(These drugs are made from immune system cells.) Prolia works by decreasing bone breakdown in your body. This leads to reduced bone loss and helps to treat osteoporosis. Prolia is given by healthcare professionals as an injection under your skin (called a subcutaneous injection).

Official answer. Yes, Prolia (denosumab) does increase bone density. Research has shown that Prolia significantly increased bone mineral density (BMD) by 8.8% at the lumbar spine, 6.4% at the total hip, and 5.2% at the femoral neck in trials that measured BMD after three years of treatment with Prolia.
