Cards

Term
Phenytoin
Definition
Fast-acting Na channel blocker used in seizures. Hydrontion

#1 tonic clonic and status epi.

HEPATIC CYP NONLINEAR ELIM BOUND TO PLASMA PROTEINS

CAUSES MOST GINGIVAL OVERGROWTH
from increasing fibroblast prolif.

1. nyastagmus/ataxia
2. hypersentivity (toxic epi)
3. teratogen
4. decreased bone mineral density
Term
Carbamazepine
Definition
Fast-acting Na channel blocker used in seizures, neuro pain, bipolar

Cyp450 that undergoes AUTOINDUCTION

1. ataxia
2. agranulocytosis
3. hypersensitivity
4. teratogen
5. decreases bone mineral density (through catabolism D3)

-easier to dose than phenytoin.
Term
Lamotrigine
Definition
Fast-acting Na channel blocker + extra for seizures as adjudicative therapy

undergoes hepatic glucuronidation therefore less interactions

pheny/carbaz = increase elim
valproic = decreased elim

1. cns = dizzy/ASEPTIC MENINGITIS
2. TERATOGEN (lower)
3. HYPERSENSITIVTY RASH <16
Term
Valproic Acid
Definition
Fast-acting Na channel blocker + T-type Ca used in seizures. --> COMPLICATED

Na channel blocker, gaba increaser, Ca2 blocker

Phenytoin decreases serum levels due to increased hepatic glucuronidation
THIS INCREASED AMOUNT FREE PHENTOIN VIA COMPITION ALBUMIN

1. Teratogen
2. HEPATOXIC/PANCREATITIS
3. Nausea/vomiting
Term
Ethosuximide
Definition
T-type Ca2+ channel blocker used in ABSENT SEIZURES

CYP450 W/O ENZYME INDUCTION

GI DISTRESS
BONE MARROW DEPRESSION
Term
Gabapentin
Definition
Presynaptic Ca2+ channel (alpha2-delta subunit) modulators
MORE OFTEN NEUROPATHIC PAIN SUCH AS HERPETIC NEURALGIA

RENALLY ELIMINATED THEREFORE NO INTERACTIONS

gabapentin has limited oral bioavailability

1. Weight Gain
2. CNS euphoria/dizzyness
Term
Pregabalin
Definition
Presynaptic Ca2+ channel (alpha2-delta subunit) modulators
MORE OFTEN NEUROPATHIC PAIN SUCH AS HERPETIC NEURALGIA

RENALLY ELIMINATED THEREFORE NO INTERACTIONS

gabapentin has limited oral bioavailability

1. Weight Gain
2. CNS euphoria/dizzyness
Term
Levetiracetam
Definition
synaptic transmission modulator via PRESYNAPTIC VESICLE PROTEIN for adjudicative therapy

RENALLY ELIMINATED
1. fatique/mood swings
Term
Seizure types and treatment
Definition
1. Status Epilepticus: phenytoin
2. generalized: phenytoin, carbamazepine, lamotrigine
3. absent: ethosuximide, valproic acid
4. partial: cabamazepine, valproic acid, phenytoin
5. partial adjunctive: lamotrigine
Term
PDS
Definition
Paroxysmal depolarizing shifts
The PDS is a slow, long-lasting local depolarization that moves
the neuron close to the threshold for Na+ channel activation.

Caused by T-type Ca2+ channels in absense seizures
Term
Absent seizure drug
Definition
Ethosuximide!
