Seizures, treatment

Succinimides. Ethosuximide [77-67-8] C2H22NO2 (41) and the related succinknide, methsuximide [77-41-8] C22H23NO2 (42) are used in absence seizure treatment. Like the other anticonvulsants discussed, the mechanism of action of the succinirnides is unclear. Effects on T-type calcium channels and -ATPase activity have been reported (20). Ethosuximide has significant CNS and gastrointestinal (GI) side effect HabiUties (13). 

The most serious complication of cysticercosis is neurocys-ticercosis that can cause strokes and seizures. Treatment of neurocysticercosis with anthelmintic treatment remains controversial.

Seizures. Treatment-emergent seizures are rare in the absence of concomitant medical disorders. Olanzapine should be used with caution in patients with a history of seizures and in patients with conditions that may lower the seizure threshold, such as dementia. 

Ofloxacin, a quinolone antibiotic, can cause tendon damage or seizures. Treatment should be stopped if pain or inflammation of a tendon occurs. Precipitation of seizures is rare unless the person is already prone to epilepsy or related conditions.

Victims of certain chemical exposures will experience seizure activity. Patients must be protected from harm. Benzodiazepines are the mainstays in seizure treatment. Liberal doses are required titrate to effect. Termination of seizure activity may reflect onset of flaccid paralysis from the nerve agent rather than adequacy of anticonvulsant therapy. A bedside electroencephalograph (EEG) may be required to assess ongoing seizure activity. 

No specific information is available. Signs of toxicity are expected to include sedation, dullness, hypotension, respiratory depression, anorexia, colic, weakness, fever, icterus, restlessness, and seizures. Treatment consists of aggressive supportive care and gastric decontamination. 

In general, nonlindane shampoos do not produce toxicity. Transient irritant effects are expected, especially in the event of ocular exposure. Exposure to lindane shampoos can produce vomiting, tremors, increased salivation, and seizures. Treatment is aimed at appropriate gastrointestinal decontamination and control of seizures.
