With the rapid proliferation of electromagnetic field (EMF)-emitting technologies and the rising prevalence of neurological disorders, the investigation of potential interactions between these two domains has emerged as a critical interdisciplinary focus. Experimental evidence suggests that chronic EMF exposure may influence the efficacy and safety of neuropharmacological agents through mechanisms such as increased blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability, oxidative stress induction, and modulation of gene expression related to drug metabolism. Conversely, certain neuroactive drugs may sensitize neural tissue to EMF exposure, resulting in synergistic or antagonistic interactions. These interactions can lead to altered pharmacokinetics, exacerbation or attenuation of disease symptoms, and the emergence of unexpected side effects. This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of current data on the co-effects of EMFs and neuropharmaceuticals on neuronal function, behavioral outcomes, and the progression of brain diseases. The findings may inform the development of more precise therapeutic protocols, next-generation drug design, and enhanced patient safety in increasingly EMF-rich environments
