Has anyone had Rituximab for GPA and Denosumab for osterpororis ? What I want to know is are they compatible ?
Has anyone experienced side effects?
I am so unsure about putting more drugs into my body but I know I need to have the Denosumab as I'm at a high risk for osterpororis
Any suggestions ?!!!

Hi Christine,
Have you had a DEXA scan to see if you actually have oesteopenia/ oesteoporosis?
You will need to ask your Consultant if they are compatible. If you are of child bearing age then I think that meds like Denosumab have to be used with caution.
Most people are prescribed Alendronic acid to prevent oesteoporosis so I don't know if many people with have experience with Denosumab.
Hello I spoke to a consultant at Addenbrookes about infliximab and Denosamab who said it is fine. Check with whoever initiated your ritiximab.
I always tell our members, check everything, whether prescribed or you are going to buy over the counter, including homeopathic remedies, with your pharmacist they train for 7 years and the last year can only work under the control of an experienced pharmacist before being let loose on the public.
No medics and that includes Consultants can tell you about compatibility. Make your pharmacist your very best friend. Mine has saved me twice with prescription drugs, never mind OTC's.
Thanks everyone for your comments I have asked my consultant but she didn't know!! I will try the pharmacist
Yes I have had Dexa scan that showed osterpororis
I've had one Denosumab injection but that was pre Rituximab treatment
I will let you know if I get an answer
Hi spoke to the pharmacist who said she couldn't find any evidence any where to say the two drugs are not compatible
