Osteonecrosis due to drugs - what does this mean

Osteonecrosis due to drugs is caused by a decrease in blood supply to the bone, resulting in bone death. this can be caused by long-term use of certain medications, such as corticosteroids, anticoagulants, and chemotherapy drugs. these drugs can interfere with the normal process of bone formation and repair, leading to weakened bones and ultimately, bone death.

What happens during the disease - osteonecrosis due to drugs

Osteonecrosis is a condition caused by inadequate blood supply to the bones, which leads to death of bone tissue. it can be caused by drugs such as corticosteroids, anticoagulants, and bisphosphonates, which can reduce the blood flow to the bones, leading to necrosis. additionally, these drugs can cause an imbalance in the balance of bone remodeling, leading to decreased bone formation and increased bone resorption, which further contributes to the death of bone tissue.
