Bone anabolic drugs are medications that stimulate osteoblasts (bone-building cells) to increase new bone formation, thereby boosting bone mass and strength, primarily used for severe osteoporosis to quickly reduce fracture risk. Key examples include PTH analogs like teriparatide (Forteo) and abaloparatide (Tymlos), and the anti-sclerostin antibody romosozumab (Evenity). They are distinct from anti-resorptive drugs (like bisphosphonates) and often used in sequence with them, as their bone-building effects are temporary.
