OXAZOLIDINEDIONES. Drowsiness is the most common adverse reaction and, as with the other anticonvulsants, tends to subside with continued use Visual disturbances may also occur. The patient with a visual disturbance is assisted with ambulation and oriented carefully to the environment. The nurse ensures that the environment is safe The patient may be especially sensitive to bright lights and may want the room light to be kept dim. Because photosensitivity can occur, the nurse must keep the patient out of the sun. The nurse instructs the patient to use sunscreens and protective clothing until the individual effects of the drug are known.

Paramax metoclopramide. paramethadione [ban, inn] (Paradione ) is an oxazolidinedione. It has anticonvulsant activity but only has restricted use as an antiepileptic (for absence seizures, petit mal) due to potential toxicity, paramethasone [ban, inn] (paramethasone acetate [usan]) is a CORTICOSTEROID, a GLUCOCORTICOID with ANTIINFLAMMATORY and ANTIAUERGIC properties. It has beeen used sytemically for a variety of inflammatory disorders, paramethasone acetate parametbasone. paramorphine tbebaine. 

Dni used for the management of convulsive disorders are called anticonvulsants. Most anticonvulsants have specific uses, tliat is, tliey are of value only in the treatment of certain types of seizure disorders. There are five types of dru used as anticonvulsants barbiturates, benzodiazepines, hydantoins, oxazolidinediones, and tlie succinimides. In addition, several miscellaneous dni are used as anticonvulsants. All possess the ability to depress abnonnal neural discharges in tlie central nervous system (CNS), resulting in an inhibition of seizure activity. Dni tliat control generalized tonic-clonic seizures are not effective for absence (petit mal) seizures. If botli conditions are present, combined drug tlierapy is required. 

The various anticonvulsant drugs, containing essentially the meide structure (Table 7.1), belong to the chemical categories of barbiturates, hydantoins, oxazolidinediones and succinimides and lastly the miscellaneous types of compounds possessing such characteristics.
