Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Phenytoin also increases the metabolism of vitamin K and reduces the concentration of vitamin K-dependent proteins that are important for normal Ca++ metabolism [3].

Conversely, when bone loss was prevented by the combined administration of phenytoin and menatetrenone , serum and bone levels of menatetrenone and MK-6 increased to the levels of vehicle-treated rats.
When the serum and bone levels of menatetrenone and MK-6 decreased due to phenytoin administration, we observed bone loss in rats.

Combined administration of menatetrenone (30 mg/kg in diet per day) with phenytoin for 5 weeks prevented the reduction of BMD, and the level of osteocalcin was slightly increased.
In this study, we investigated 1) whether the administration of phenytoin induced bone loss; and 2) whether menatetrenone could prevent bone loss induced by phenytoin.
Thus, it is suggested that long-termed phenytoin exposure may inhibit bone formation concomitantly with insufficient vitamin K , which, at least in part, contributed to bone loss in rats.
