Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
4 AEDs that act on Na+ channel inhibition   phenytoin, carbamazepine, lamotrigine, valproic acid  
🗑
AEDs that enhance Na+ channel inhibition are good drugs for   partial seizures and secondary generalized seizures  
🗑
Na+ channel blocker AEDS function in what manner?   use dependent manner  
🗑
MOA of Phenytoin   slows channel recover between inactivated to closed  
🗑
Phenytoin is a major drug choice for what types of seizures?   Partial and Tonic-Clonic (secondary generalized) seizures  
🗑
AED that when used with phenytoin can greatly decrease phenytoin levels   carbamazepine  
🗑
Pt with seizures that takes phenytoin might be switched to this drug if they need medications for other medical problems   Carbamazepine  
🗑
MOA of Carbamazepine   slows recovery of Na+ channel from inactivated to closed  
🗑
3rd line DOC for atypical absence seizures   lamotrigine  
🗑
AEDs that block T-type calcium channels are used for what   absence seizures  
🗑
1st line therapy for uncomplicated absence seizures   ethosuxamide  
🗑
2nd line AED for absence seizures not responding to ethosuxamide   valproic acid  
🗑
Partial seizures not responding to phenytoin or carbamazepine are usually treated with   Valproic acid  
🗑
MOA of Valproic Acid   affects Na+ channels, at slightly higher concentration inhibits T-type Ca++ channel, and also stimulates GABA synthesis and inhibits it’s degradation  
🗑
Pt has a generalized epileptic syndrome with mixed seizure types. DOC?   Valproic acid  
🗑
DOC for idiopathic generalized seizures   Valproic acid  
🗑
MOA: Gabapentin   increases GABA but major action is inhibiting HVA Ca++ channels  
🗑
4th DOC for absence seizures   clonazepam  
🗑
MOA of benzodiazepines   increase affinity for GABAa receptors; increase Cl- influx through GABAa receptor  
🗑
MOA that makes clonazepam special from other benzos   inhibit T-type Ca++ channels in the thalamus, “turning off” the reticular nucleus  
🗑
Benzo’s are used in what mode for seizure Tx   used to ablate partial and tonic-clonic seizures  
🗑
Don’t give phenobarbital with this type of seizure because it might exacerbate it   absence seizures  
🗑
Used in extreme refractory epilepsy b/c can cause fatal aplastic anemia   felbamate  
🗑
Used in ventricular arrhythmias that don’t respond to lidocaine or procainamide   Phenytoin  
🗑
MOA for benzodiazepines   increase the FREQUENCY of GABA-mediated chloride ion channel opening  
🗑
Benzodiazepine that has efficacy against absence seizures and in anxiety states, such as agoraphobia   clonazepam  
🗑
DOC for status epilepticus   Diazepam  
🗑
2 AEDs used for treatment of Bipolar Affective Disorder   Carbamazepine, lamotrigine  
🗑
If Pt is being treated for partial or tonic-clonic seizures with multiple drugs and drops dead, suspect this drug   tiagabine  
🗑
Adjunct therapy for partial seizures that may cause anemia or leukopenia   levetiracetam  
🗑
