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.
For both men and women at increased risk of fracture, the most widely prescribed osteoporosis medications are bisphosphonates. Examples include: Alendronate (Fosamax) Risedronate (Actonel, Atelvia) Ibandronate (Boniva) Zoledronic acid (Reclast) Side effects include nausea, abdominal pain and heartburn-like symptoms. These are less likely to occur if the medicine is taken properly. Intravenous forms of bisphosphonates don't cause stomach upset but can cause fever, headache and muscle aches for up to three days.
