Mechanisms of action — Antiseizure medications are typically grouped by their principal mode of action, although for many drugs, the precise mechanism of action is not known or multiple …

2020年2月17日 · Mechanism of Action Stabilizes neuronal membranes and decreases seizure activity by increasing efflux or decreasing influx of sodium ions across cell membranes in the …

2017年3月27日 · In the 80 years after the first clinical use of phenytoin, a great number of hypotheses on phenytoin’s mechanism of action have been proposed. We identified four …

Mechanism of Action Phenytoin is an anticonvulsant which may be useful in the treatment of generalized tonic-clonic status epilepticus. The primary site of action appears to be the motor...

The mechanism of action of antiepileptic drugs can be classified into four main groups. Some antiepileptics work by increasing inhibition of Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) by acting on …

Phenytoin mechanism of action. Phenytoin is a voltage-gated, sodium channel blocker, stabilizing the inactive state of the sodium channel and prolonging the neuronal refractory period. …

Mechanism of action: By binding to voltage gated sodium channels and stabilising them in their inactive state, phenytoin decreases the excitability of excitable tissues and prevents the …
