The optimal duration of bisphosphonate treatment for osteoporosis is unknown. Bisphosphonate medications approved for the prevention and/or treatment of osteoporosis have clinical trial data supporting fracture reduction efficacy through at least 3 years of treatment and, in some cases, through 5 years.

Drugs that slow the rate of bone loss are called antiresorptive medications. Ones that increase the rate of bone formation are called anabolic medications.
