متن کاملP-26: The Effects of Interferon-Gamma onCarbamazepine-Induced Fetal Malformations inMouse Fetus
Background: One in every 250 newborns is exposed to antiepileptic drugs, inutero .The risk of congenital malformations in newborns, prenatally exposed to antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), is around 5% which is 2 to 2.5 times that of general population; while carbamazepine (CBZ) and valproate (VPA) still provide the treatment of choice in most forms of epilepsy, being efficacious in approximately two-...
متن کاملAntiepileptic drugs and brain maturation: fetal exposure to lamotrigine generates cortical malformations in rats.
Intake of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) during pregnancy can provoke severe and subtle fetal malformations associated with deleterious sequelae, reflecting the need for experimental investigations on the comparative teratogenic potential of these agents. We recently reported that prenatal exposure to vigabatrin and valproate, two AEDs which act through GABAergic mechanisms, induces hippocampal and...
متن کاملP 146: The Best New Antiepileptic Drugs to Prevent Orofacial Malformations as Side Effects of Antiepileptic Drugs
Mothers exposed to Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are at high risk to born babies with orofacial malformations such as cleft lips. About 9 percent of congenital abnormalities in babies of mothers with epilepsy relates to orofacial abnormalities. Maintaining safe antiepileptic drugs for millions of mothers with epilepsy is very important. Researches show that new AEDs have less side effects than the...
متن کاملAntiepileptic drug actions.
Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) vary in their efficacy against generalized tonic-clonic, myoclonic, and absence seizures, suggesting different mechanisms of action. Phenytoin (PHT), carbamazepine (CBZ), and valproate (VPA) reduced the ability of mouse central neurons to sustain high-frequency repetitive firing of action potentials (SRF) at therapeutic free serum concentrations. Phenobarbital (PB) an...
