Accepted Answer

Should be OK: Hi. There should be a problem using both drugs. Remember, you MUST take Fosamax (alendronate) once/week on an empty stomach with water (only, and lots of it). I recommend waiting 60 minutes (not 30) before any other medicines, food, or beverages, and in that hour, have MORE water. Fosamax taken properly should have no interaction with Sanctura.

Question 10

can epilepsy medication have adverse effects on the baby?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Most antiepileptics increase the rate of birth defects when used in the first trimester, but the overall rate is still fairly low (increases from baseline of about 1% to about 3%).

Importantly, antiepileptics may still be required if there are uncontrolled seizures.  One can't avoid them if one is seizing without them. Uncontrolled seizures are more dangerous than the drugs.
