The invention provides a medical compound for treating osteoporosis which is characterized in that the invention contains strontium ranelate and bisphosphonate. Animal experiments indicate that the invention achieves the unexpected effect for treating the osteoporosis. The osteoporosis is a bone disease of the whole body characterized by the low bone mass and the degeneration of the micro structure of the bone organization, companying with the enhancement of the bone fragility and easy happened bone broken for which no ideal treatment medicine exists in the clinic. The bisphosphonate of the invention comprises alendronate, risedronate sodium, ibandronate, pamidronate, Etidronate, disodium clodronate and zoledronic acid, etc. In the invention, the dosage of the bisphosphonate is greatly reduced, which can effectively reduce the happening of side effects and is convenient to use the medicine.
