Has anyone got Neutropenia from using Prolia or heard about it. I have now got mild Neutropenia after one injection. Wondering if it is the Prolia. I am not going to have another injection.

Hi Greenie,

I am new to the forum. I have been on most of the treatments over a good number of years.

I do not have and not heard of Neutropenia.

I have a low lymphocyte count this was picked up on after my 2 year course of Forsteo.

Lymphocytes are also a type of white blood cell.

I also have had 1 injection of Prolia and have decided not to go ahead with another owing to the bad side effects I have had,and are still experiencing.

I have just discovered from your question that among the causes of low lymphocytes are Opioids and some Biphosphonates!!!!

Just to clarify I was on 3 monthly injections of ibandronate for 3 years before I had the Forsteo.

I also had 2 injections of ibandronate in 2017.

My blood tests over many years have shown my white blood cells to be low.

Maybe now with the help of your question I have found the answer as to why.

This has been investigated by rheumatologist and also neurologists and they have never been able to discover the cause.

Not what you're looking for?
