Phenobarbital (LUMINAL)
 Seizure type: non-specific
 Very sedating, cheap, used for status epileptica to put them into coma
 Mechanism:
• Blocks Na, Ca, Glu, GABA increased, decreased repetitive firing of high frequency neurons
 Kinetics: metabolized in liver, can induce enzymes
o Phenytoin (DILANTIN)
 Seizure type: non-specific
 Mech: blocks sustained repetitive firing, prolongs inactivation of Na channels
 Kinetics:
• Highly protein bound
• Dose dependent metabolism
• Induces liver, stimulates its own metabolism
• Drug interactions relating to protein binding
o Important to look at albumin(low makes more sensitive to drug)
o Carbamazapine (TEGRETOL)
FROM BP: mania, rapid cycling, Stevens Johnson rash

 Seizure type: non-specific
 Mech: blocks high freq, blocks Na, blocks presynaptic transmission
