What is the generic name of prolia?



The generic name of Prolia is denosumab. Denosumab is a medication used to treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and in men at increased risk of fractures. It works by inhibiting the activity of osteoclasts, which are cells that break down bone tissue. By reducing bone breakdown, denosumab helps to increase bone density and reduce the risk of fractures [1][2][3].
