    drugs that prevent bone density loss by inhibiting osteoclasts

    Bisphosphonates, also known as diphosphonates, are a class of drugs that prevent the loss of bone density. They are commonly prescribed to treat osteoporosis and similar bone diseases by inhibiting the activity of osteoclasts, the cells responsible for bone resorption. This helps to strengthen bones and reduce the risk of fractures.
