How it is used
Rolcya is given once every 6 months as an injection under the skin in the thigh, abdomen (belly) or back of the arm. During treatment with Rolcya, the doctor should ensure that the patient is receiving calcium and vitamin D supplements. Rolcya can be given by someone who has been trained in how to give injections appropriately.
How it works
The active substance in Rolcya, denosumab, is a monoclonal antibody (a type of protein) that has been designed to recognise and attach to a specific structure in the body called RANKL. RANKL is involved in activating osteoclasts, the cells in the body that are involved in breaking down bone tissue. By attaching to and blocking RANKL, denosumab reduces the formation and activity of the osteoclasts. This reduces the loss of bone and maintains bone strength, making fractures less likely to happen.
