Term
which epilepsy drug tx febrile seizure
Definition
phenobarbitol - DOC

cause of epilepsy
Definition
firing of areas of neurons in brain (primary focus) which is anatomically normal

possibly inbalance of GABA: GABA transaminase elimase halts GABA to ensure balance in communication, if GABA is lacking it causes seizure
Term
what percipitates a seizure 5
Definition
change in blood gas, pH, electrolytes, glucose
increase in glutamate activity
Term
explain dual order kinetics
Definition
low blood levels: rate of metabolism proportional to blood level (1st order)

high blood levels: disporportional increase in concentration, steady state may not be reached before toxicity occurs (zero order kinetics) hepatic hydroxylation is filled up. makes t1/2 of drug meaningless
