Anabolic Medications. Anabolic drugs are a new and distinct class of medications for osteoporosis. These drugs increase the rate of bone formation. The first drug in this category is Teriparatide (Forteo), a form of parathyroid hormone.
Bisphosphonates are the most common medications prescribed for osteoporosis treatment. Hormones, such as estrogen, and some hormone-like medications approved for preventing and treating osteoporosis, such as raloxifene (Evista), also play a role in osteoporosis treatment. However, fewer women use estrogen replacement therapy now because it may increase the risk of heart attacks and some types of cancer.
