phenobarbital and Drug Overdose

phenobarbital has been researched along with Drug Overdose in 37 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.

Drug Overdose: Accidental or deliberate use of a medication or street drug in excess of normal dosage.

"Doxepin is a tricyclic antidepressant from the group of dibenzoxepines."5.38[Prolonged toxic coma and anisocoria secondary to doxepin, lorazepam and phenobarbital poisoning--case study]. ( Kołodziej, M; Krajewska, A; Majewska, M; Szponar, J, 2012)
" The results also revealed statistically significant greater total body clearance for phenobarbital and consequently a shorter half-life with MDAC treatment versus either urinary alkalinization alone or the combined use of both."5.31Pharmacokinetics of phenobarbital during certain enhanced elimination modalities to evaluate their clinical efficacy in management of drug overdose. ( Abdel-Rahman, HM; Mohammed Ebid, AH, 2001)
"Mexiletine is a group Ib antidysrhythmic agent with electrophysiologic effects similar to lidocaine."5.29Mexiletine overdose producing status epilepticus without cardiovascular abnormalities. ( Hoffman, RS; Nelson, LS, 1994)
"Phenobarbital is a long-acting barbiturate often prescribed for seizure disorders."2.38Acute phenobarbital intoxication. ( Cunningham, A; Lindberg, MC; Lindberg, NH, 1992)
"Phenobarbital is a long-acting barbiturate, which in an overdose can cause central nervous system depression, respiratory failure and haemodynamic instability; these patients can remain obtunded for many days."1.39Successful use of haemodialysis to treat phenobarbital overdose. ( Austin, R; Hoy, M; Hoyland, K; Wildman, M, 2013)
"Doxepin is a tricyclic antidepressant from the group of dibenzoxepines."1.38[Prolonged toxic coma and anisocoria secondary to doxepin, lorazepam and phenobarbital poisoning--case study]. ( Kołodziej, M; Krajewska, A; Majewska, M; Szponar, J, 2012)
"Methadone was the culprit in 3 boys and 1 girl, resulting in respiratory failure, depressed conscious state and pinpoint pupils."1.35Poisoning necessitating pediatric ICU admissions: size of pupils does matter. ( Cheung, KL; Ho, JK; Hon, KL; Hung, EC; Ng, PC, 2008)
"Phenobarbital has a long elimination half-life and for this reason it is advisable to use means to accelerate clearance until the clinical condition of the patient shows improvement."1.32[Accelerated elimination using hemoperfusion in a patient with phenobarbital intoxication]. ( Bouma, AW; Meynaar, IA; Peltenburg, HG; van Dam, B; Walenbergh-van Veen, MC, 2004)
"An erroneous diagnosis of seizure lead to phenobarbital overdose and the change of aEEG voltage and pattern assisted in a prompt diagnosis."1.32The influence of phenobarbital overdose on aEEG recording. ( Shany, E, 2004)
"Lamotrigine (Lamictal) is a new anticonvulsant drug recently approved for use in the United States."1.31Lamotrigine distribution in two postmortem cases. ( Jufer, RA; Levine, B; Smialek, JE, 2000)
"Mexiletine is a group Ib antidysrhythmic agent with electrophysiologic effects similar to lidocaine."1.29Mexiletine overdose producing status epilepticus without cardiovascular abnormalities. ( Hoffman, RS; Nelson, LS, 1994)
