Bisphosphonates have emerged as a pivotal and widely used class of drugs in the treatment of osteoporosis. This article provides a comprehensive overview of bisphosphonates, focusing on their mechanism of action, types, efficacy in preventing fractures, potential side effects, and their role as a primary treatment option. It discusses current medical guidelines, considerations for usage, and future directions in osteoporosis management. While underscoring their crucial role in maintaining bone density and reducing fracture risk, the article also highlights the need for careful consideration of individual patient factors and emerging alternative treatments.
