I am taking a medication, a bisphosphonate, for my osteoporosis. How does the medication work?
Bisphosphonates strengthen your bone by slowing down the resorption, or process of bone loss. This gives the cells that form bone more time to make new cells. We all lose bone mass as we get older, but women lose more bone mass at a faster rate after they go through menopause. These medications slow down this loss.
