My husband has been on topamax for about 4 years. He now has osteoporosis and a parathyroid adenoma with constant severe bone pain, extreme exhaustion and night sweats. As soon as we took him off of topamax his pain level improved. I know that topamax can cause osteoporosis. If he weren't a 49 year old fit male, I'm sure they'd just assume the osteoporosis was primary, rather than secondary to a parathyroid problem. I'm convinced everything is related to the topamax, but I have no proof.
What else can I help you with?
What gland and hormone stimulates the deposition of calcium into the bone?
The parathyroid hormone stimulates the absorption of calcium from the bone.
What hormones released by parathyroid gland?
The parathyroid gland releases parathyroid hormone (PTH), which helps regulate calcium levels in the blood. PTH works to increase levels of calcium by promoting its release from bones, reabsorption in the kidneys, and absorption in the intestines.
What hormone stimulates the release of calcium?
the parathyroid hormone (PTH) is released by the parathyroid gland (located behind the thyroid gland). A decrease in blood calcium causes the parathyroid gland to secrete PTH which causes the bones to release more calcium to raise blood calcium and also causes the kidneys to decrease the amount of calcium lost in urine
What is the name of the hormone produced by the parathyroid gland?
