Q: Which migraine medications contribute to bone loss? I have osteoporosis as well as migraines.
Suzie,
-:¦:-•:*'""*:•.-:¦:-•*Welcome to MyMigraineConnection!*•-:¦:-•:*'""*:•.-:¦:-
Wow. There are over 100 medications in use for Migraine prevention, plus all the Migraine abortives and pain medications prescribed for rescue medications. I'm sorry, but I don't know of any off-hand that contribute to bone loss, and I can't possibly look up all of them.
I have osteoporosis, so that's a concern me me too. What I do is always ask my doctors about that when they prescribe anything for me AND double check it with my pharmacist when I get a prescription of a new medication.
Hope this helps,
Teri
Opps- I hit the wrong buttton the first time. Sorry about that. The reply was to be in this spot.
I too have osteoporosis and am concerned that Topomax may have contibutied to this as I am only 45. It says right on the package insert- may cause bone disease.
