This is the recording of the DEE-P webinar which was recorded on August 5, 2023.

We are still learning but both epilepsy and anti-seizure medications (ASMs) are associated with adverse effects on bone health. Those taking ASMs have increased rates of bone loss and other issues that may contribute to an increased risk of fracture. Come learn about how to maintain bone health and what to look out for.

Our panelists for this webinar are:
