Osteoporosis agents comprise a broad therapeutic category of medications used to prevent bone loss, increase bone mineral density, and reduce fracture risk.
The class includes antiresorptive medications—such as bisphosphonates, RANK ligand inhibitors, and selective estrogen receptor modulators—which suppress osteoclast-mediated bone breakdown, as well as anabolic therapies like parathyroid hormone receptor agonists and sclerostin inhibitors that stimulate osteoblastic bone formation.
Clinically, these agents are primarily indicated for the management and prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis, male osteoporosis, and glucocorticoid-induced bone loss.
