How Prolia Is Given

Prolia is not a self-administered medicine in routine practice. It is given as an injection under the skin (in the thigh, abdomen, or upper arm) by a doctor or nurse, once every six months. It is important to receive each dose on time, as delaying or stopping can lead to rapid bone loss and an increased risk of spine fractures. Calcium and vitamin D are usually taken alongside it. The timing is arranged by your doctor. Never stop or delay treatment without medical advice.
