Prolia (denosumab) injections at home

A Prolia (denosumab) injection at home in Singapore is typically S$130–200 per visit with us — the nurse's time and the injection itself, with consumables at cost. Prolia is given once every six months as a single subcutaneous injection, and there is no clinical reason it has to happen in a clinic. You supply the medication on your own prescription; we supply an SNB-registered nurse who gives the injection, stays to observe afterwards, and leaves a written record for your doctor.

What happens during the visit

  • Before we book, we check you have a valid prescription or doctor's order and the medication itself.
  • The nurse checks the pre-filled syringe — name, strength, expiry, and that it looks as it should.
  • The dose is allowed to come to room temperature before it is given.
  • The injection is given subcutaneously, usually in the upper arm, thigh or abdomen.
  • The nurse stays to observe afterwards before leaving.
  • A written visit summary records the dose, the site and the next due date for your doctor.

Who needs this

People on six-monthly denosumab for osteoporosis who already have a prescription and would rather not make the trip to a clinic — commonly older adults with limited mobility, and families managing a parent's treatment schedule.

How often: Once every six months. Keeping to the schedule matters, so we note the next due date on the visit summary.

Subsidies you may be eligible for

Eligible Singapore Citizens and PRs may qualify for AIC-subsidised home nursing and the Home Caregiving Grant. See home nursing subsidies for who qualifies and how to apply.

When to call a doctor

  • Any rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheeze or difficulty breathing after the injection — call 995
  • Numbness or tingling around the mouth, or muscle cramps and spasms, which can suggest low calcium
  • Any dental pain, loose teeth or a non-healing area in the mouth — mention it to your doctor before the next dose
  • Sudden new thigh, hip or groin pain

For urgent or severe symptoms, call 995 or go to the nearest A&E.

Frequently asked questions

Are your nurses familiar with giving Prolia?
Yes. Denosumab is a single pre-filled subcutaneous injection and it is a routine part of SNB-registered nursing practice. The nurse checks the medication and the prescription before giving it, gives it, observes you afterwards, and documents the dose and site for your own doctor.
How much does a Prolia injection at home cost?
Typically S$130–200 for the visit, with consumables at cost. That is the nursing fee only — the medication itself is dispensed on your own prescription and paid for through your usual pharmacy or clinic.
Do you supply the Prolia?
No. Prolia is a prescription-only medicine and patients normally collect it on their own prescription. Bring it home, keep it refrigerated, and have it ready for the visit.
How should I store it before the nurse arrives?
In the fridge at 2–8°C, in its original carton, not in the freezer and not in the fridge door. It is taken out shortly before the injection so it can reach room temperature. If the cold chain has been broken — left out overnight, or transported without a cold pack — we will not administer it, and you should speak to your pharmacy about a replacement.
What do I need to have ready?
The medication, your prescription or doctor's order, and a list of what else you take. Anything to do with calcium, vitamin D or whether the dose is due is a matter for your prescribing doctor, not something we advise on.
Will you remind me when the next dose is due?
The visit summary records the next due date, and we can follow up ahead of it if you ask us to. The schedule itself is set by your doctor.
