Hello,
Yes there are drugs that are given like that for osteoporosis and they are commonly used also. These drugs belongs to bisphosphonates. Ibandronate is the drug given once monthly and zolendronic acid is can be given once yearly or one in 2 years for osteoporosis.
Do contact your doctor for further details of medications. I hope the above information helps you. Thanks for writing into healthcaremagic. Have a nice day.
