Minodronic Acid
This bisphosphonate medication is used in Japan to treat osteoporosis by inhibiting osteoclast activity, the cells responsible for breaking down bone, thereby slowing bone loss and reducing fracture risk. Like other bisphosphonates, it is taken orally and builds up preferentially in bone tissue.
