Thank you for sharing your case. In order for a patient to be reimbursed for Prolia, he or she must meet very specific reimbursement criteria. For Prolia in women, these are: Postmenopausal osteoporosis (T-score less than or equal to -2.5 measured by DXA or the occurrence of an osteoporotic fracture) in women over 60 years of age, after failure of treatment with oral bisphosphonates or with contraindications (intolerance) to their use. Your entry only shows that you meet the criterion of age and illness. However, in order to apply for Prolia's reimbursement, you should also have a densitometric bone test, the result of which will meet the above criteria or be after an osteoporotic fracture. The condition for switching to injection is also poor tolerance or the inability to use oral drugs. Your entry shows that you have been taking them for many years, so I suppose that you tolerate this therapy well and have no contraindications to it, which may be an obstacle to switching to therapy reimbursed with Prolia. It is difficult for me to answer to which specialist you are referred to, because the treatment of osteoporosis is primarily dealt with by rheumatologists. Any doubts are best dispelled in a direct conversation with a doctor.
