Valproic acid and plasma levels of primidone and derived phenobarbital.

چکیده
Five patients were studied to determine whether kinetic interaction occurs between valproic acid and primidone. During concurrent administration of primidone and valproic acid no significant interaction was observed. Primidone and derived phenobarbital levels did not change significantly. No adjustment of primidone dose was required when valproic acid was used as adjunctive therapy.

For example, phenytoin, carbamazepine, and valproic acid exhibit non-linear kine...

متن کاملTwo antiepileptic drugs for intractable epilepsy with complex-partial seizures.
The value of adding a second antiepileptic drug in intractable epilepsy with complex-partial seizures was studied in a long-term prospective trial in 30 adult patients who failed to respond to the maximum use of carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital or primidone as the first drug. Based on the individual previous history of one-drug treatment, the most promising antiepileptic drug (carbamazep...
