Most likely, you are not talking about the injection of "Polio", but about the drug "Prolia". If so, please read on. Prolia is a prescription medicine, so the possibility of using this product is decided by the doctor, after reading all the information about your health condition. It may also order additional tests - in the case of osteoporosis, densitometry is crucial. You did not specify a unit for the calcium level score, so it is difficult for me to relate to this. Indications for the use of Prolia include the treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women, the preparation reduces the risk of vertebral fractures, extravertebral fractures and hip fractures. On the other hand, reimbursement indications, i.e. circumstances when a doctor can prescribe this preparation at a discount, more information here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/74563/prolia-mam-62-lata-a-lekarz-rodzinny-nie-chce-dac-mi-recepty-ze-znizka-30-na Treatment of osteoporosis is primarily dealt with by a rheumatologist. If you would like individual advice on your health situation and the possibility of using Prolia, you can start by visiting your family doctor, who will advise you on whether it is appropriate to visit a specialist.
