phenobarbital and Hypocalcemia

phenobarbital has been researched along with Hypocalcemia in 31 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.

Hypocalcemia: Reduction of the blood calcium below normal. Manifestations include hyperactive deep tendon reflexes, Chvostek's sign, muscle and abdominal cramps, and carpopedal spasm. (Dorland, 27th ed)

"Residents of an institution for the developmentally disabled in northwest Ohio receiving anticonvulsant therapy for six months or more with phenobarbital or phenytoin or both were studied for the prevalence of hypocalcemia and elevated alkaline phosphatase level."3.67Prevalence of hypocalcemia and elevated serum alkaline phosphatase in patients receiving chronic anticonvulsant therapy. ( Nordlund, DJ; Rodgers, LA; Schmitt, BP, 1984)
" Those seizures had been wrongly attributed to a primary epilepsy of a neurologic origin and a treatment with Phenobarbital had been instituted."3.66[Amicrobic pustulosis hypoparathyroidism epilepsy: treatment by 25-hydroxycholecalciferol]. ( Barthelme, D; Beurey, J; Chaulieu, Y; Vignaud, JM; Weber, M, 1980)

"Subtle seizures are the commonest type of seizures occurring in the neonatal period."1.36Management of neonatal seizures. ( Agarwal, R; Deorari, A; Paul, VK; Sankar, JM, 2010)
" Hypocalcaemia was related to high dosage of anticonvulsant drugs, to multiple drug therapy, and to the use of individual anticonvulsant drugs in the following order, with decreasing order of importance: pheneturide, primidone, phenytoin, phenobarbitone."1.25Disturbance of calcium metabolism by anticonvulsant drugs.
