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.
The most common drugs used to treat osteoporosis are called bisphosphonates. They include alendronate (Fosamax), Ibandronate (Boniva), and zoledronic acid (Reclast). Bisphosphonates are used to prevent the loss of bone mass. They may be taken orally or by injection.
