phenobarbital and Atrial Fibrillation

phenobarbital has been researched along with Atrial Fibrillation in 5 studies

Phenobarbital: A barbituric acid derivative that acts as a nonselective central nervous system depressant. It potentiates GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID action on GABA-A RECEPTORS, and modulates chloride currents through receptor channels. It also inhibits glutamate induced depolarizations.
phenobarbital : A member of the class of barbiturates, the structure of which is that of barbituric acid substituted at C-5 by ethyl and phenyl groups.

Atrial Fibrillation: Abnormal cardiac rhythm that is characterized by rapid, uncoordinated firing of electrical impulses in the upper chambers of the heart (HEART ATRIA). In such case, blood cannot be effectively pumped into the lower chambers of the heart (HEART VENTRICLES). It is caused by abnormal impulse generation.

" Additionally, in this case the interaction was managed with concentration-guided dosing of apixaban, suggesting this approach may represent a feasible strategy for managing patients requiring treatment with direct-acting oral anticoagulants and enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs."1.48Managing Direct Oral Anticoagulants in Patients With Antiepileptic Medication.
