Yes, laxative abuse can cause bone loss
and pain :
Bone loss
Laxative abuse can lead to bone loss and
muscle loss, which can weaken bones. This can
be caused by an unhealthy low body weight
from purging, which is when you lose weight
through vomiting or laxatives.
Vitamin D de!ciency
Laxative abuse can cause a vitamin D
deficiency, which can lead to osteomalacia and
bone pain.
Electrolyte imbalances
Laxatives can cause electrolyte imbalances,
which can lead to low potassium levels and
rhabdomyolysis, a breakdown of muscle tissue.
Rhabdomyolysis can cause muscle weakness,
tender muscles, and dark urine.
Other side e#ects of laxative abuse include:
kidney damage, renal failure, seizures, and
cardiac arrest.
Laxatives can also interact with other
medications, including hea% medications,
antibiotics, and bone medications. You
should always talk to your doctor before
sta%ing a new medication regimen.
