The Effect of Anticonvulsants on Bone Mineral Density: Brief Review
https://doi.org/10.52667/2712-9179-2023-3-2-32-37
Abstract
The effect of anticonvulsants on bone mineral density changes in epileptic patients is an important and relevant scientific question. This brief review focuses on assessing the existing knowledge on how antiepileptic drugs affect bone mineral density. The review examines the various mechanisms that may influence bone mineral density when anticonvulsants are taken. Based on a literature search and analysis, advances in the field are identified and their contribution to the current understanding of the issue is assessed. Overall, this review can serve as an informative resource for understanding the relationship between antiepileptic drugs and bone mineral density and as a direction for future research.
