The effects of phenytoin on phenobarbitone and primidone metabolism.

چکیده
Serum concentrations of primidone and its metabolites-phenobarbitone and phenylethylmalonamide-were measured in 40 epileptic patients receiving treatment with primidone alone or primidone plus phenytoin. Serum phenobarbitone concentrations were also measured in 100 patients receiving phenobarbitone, alone or with phenytoin showed raised serum phenobarbitone concentrations. Phenytoin also caused raised phenylethylmalonamide concentrations in patients on primidone.

Primidone in Epilepsy—its Value in Fresh and Refractory Cases*

It has also been the impression of some workers that primidone is effective in controlling refractory cases either when given alone or in combination with phenytoin (Butter, 1953; Grant, 1971; ...
متن کاملIatrogenic nutritional effects of anticonvulsants.
The three major anticonvulsants currently used for the treatment of grand ma1 and focal epilepsy are phenobarbitone (introduced into therapy in 1912), diphenylhydantoin (DPII) (introduced in 1938), and primidone (introduced in 1952). Fig. I illustrates the common structural features of these drugs, which presumably account for their common anticonvulsant properties and side-effects. There are s...

In 1954 Badenoch described two cases of megaloblastic anaemia which developed in epileptics while under treatment with phenytoin sodium and phenobarbitone, and subsequently I2 further cases have been recorded (Hawkins and Meynell, 1954; Chalmers and Boheimer, I954; Rhind and Varadi, I954; Webster, 1954; Berlyne, Levene and McGlashan, 1955; Ryan and Forshaw, I955; Vaishnava, I955).

متن کاملAnticonvulsant-induced dyskinesias: a comparison with dyskinesias induced by neuroleptics.
Anticonvulsants cause dyskinesias more commonly than has been appreciated. Diphenylhydantoin (DPH), carbamazepine, primidone, and phenobarbitone may cause asterixis. DPH, but not other anticonvulsants, may cause orofacial dyskinesias, limb chorea, and dystonia in intoxicated patients. These dyskinesias are similar to those caused by neuroleptic drugs and may be related to dopamine antagonistic ...
