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.
Other medications sometimes used in the treatment of osteoporosis include: 1  denosumab (Xgeva or Prolia), which is taken by injection and may prove even more promising than bisphosphonates at reducing bone loss. 2  teriparatide (Forteo), which is also taken by injection and stimulates bone growth.
