Osteoporosis is a bone disease that mainly affects older people and postmenopausal women. Lack of proper treatment for this disease gives rise to many problems in patients and occasionally leads to death. Many drugs have been utilized to treat osteoporosis but the most effective one is the bisphosphonates (BPs) family. This family has several positive effects on bone tissue, including promoting bone healing, enhancing bone mineral density, reducing bone resorption, preventing pathologic fractures, suppressing bone turnover, and modulating bone remodeling. On the other hand, there have also been inconclusive reports that BPs might have a desirable or even adverse impact on osteoporotic patients. Therefore, we set out to examine the positive and negative effects of this family, with a focus on the most potent one that is zoledronate (Zol), in clinical usage. Zoledronate is an amino-BPs and nitrogen-containing drug which is the most powerful BPs on osteoporosis treatment or prevention. Many studies showed its effectiveness in the treatment of osteoporosis and bone healing. As Zol enjoys a considerable potential in treating and preventing osteoporosis, it can be used as one of the effe
