But as we age, bone breakdown accelerates to the point that new bone formation can’t keep up. This results in loss of bone density, which can leave us more vulnerable to bone fractures. Approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 1995, bisphosphonates are a group of drugs that slow bone resorption and improve bone density.
