ethosuximide and Muscle Contraction

ethosuximide has been researched along with Muscle Contraction in 4 studies

Ethosuximide: An anticonvulsant especially useful in the treatment of absence seizures unaccompanied by other types of seizures.
ethosuximide : A dicarboximide that is pyrrolidine-2,5-dione in which the hydrogens at position 3 are substituted by one methyl and one ethyl group. An antiepileptic, it is used in the treatment of absence seizures and may be used for myoclonic seizures, but is ineffective against tonic-clonic seizures.

Muscle Contraction: A process leading to shortening and/or development of tension in muscle tissue. Muscle contraction occurs by a sliding filament mechanism whereby actin filaments slide inward among the myosin filaments.

"Ethosuximide is a drug used for the treatment of absence seizures."1.33Neostigmine, but not metoclopramide, abolishes ethosuximide-induced functional gastrointestinal disturbances. ( Kostadinova, I; Krastev, A; Sirakov, V; Turiiski, V, 2005)
"Ethosuximide is an antiepileptic drug successfully used in the treatment of petit mal especially in childhood."1.29The ethosuximide-induced hyperpolarization of smooth muscle tissues--a cause of functional changes in the gastrointestinal tract of rats--is provoked by CA(2+)-dependent K(+)-efflux. ( Kostadinova, I; Kristev, A; Lukanov, J; Sirakov, V, 1994)
