The basic aspects of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination are considered, as well as the pharmacokinetic parameters pertinent to anticonvulsants. The concept of therapeutic drug monitoring is introduced. Individual differences in responses to drugs are considered in the light of ...

Despite the availability of newer agents, a number of antiepileptic drugs have continued to be employed reasonably widely, many years after their introduction to human therapeutics. These drugs comprise phenobarbitone and some of its congeners, phenytoin, ethosuximide, carbamazepine, valproate, and cer...

In recent years, several new antiepileptic drugs have been introduced. These drugs are used as add-on therapy in patients whose epilepsy is not controlled by established treatments. Vigabatrin is used in partial or focal epilepsy and infantile spasms. Lamotrigine is particularly useful in treating ge...

Voltage-operated Ca2+ channels are complex membrane proteins that are responsible for mediating Ca2+ influx in response to membrane depolarization (Hille 1984). Ca2+ entry through these channels serves to regulate intracellular processes such as contract
Gabapentin is classified as an antiepileptic agent but is most commonly used for neuropathic type pain. Etanercept targets TNF alpha which plays an important role in autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Be sure to check out our free Top 200 study guide – a 31 page PDF that...
