piracetam and Seizures, Febrile

piracetam has been researched along with Seizures, Febrile in 4 studies

Piracetam: A compound suggested to be both a nootropic and a neuroprotective agent.

Seizures, Febrile: Seizures that occur during a febrile episode. It is a common condition, affecting 2-5% of children aged 3 months to five years. An autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance has been identified in some families. The majority are simple febrile seizures (generally defined as generalized onset, single seizures with a duration of less than 30 minutes). Complex febrile seizures are characterized by focal onset, duration greater than 30 minutes, and/or more than one seizure in a 24 hour period. The likelihood of developing epilepsy (i.e., a nonfebrile seizure disorder) following simple febrile seizures is low. Complex febrile seizures are associated with a moderately increased incidence of epilepsy. (From Menkes, Textbook of Child Neurology, 5th ed, p784)

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" At the onset of fever, the patients who presented epileptiform discharge were orally administered with LEV with a dose of 15-30 mg/kg per day twice daily for 1 week, thereafter, the dosage was gradually reduced until totally discontinued in the second week."1.48Intermittent oral levetiracetam reduced recurrence of febrile seizure accompanied with epileptiform discharge: a pilot study.

"To investigate the hypothesis that some patients with epilepsy are generally prone to develop psychiatric adverse events (PAEs) during antiepileptic drug (AED) therapy irrespective of the mechanism of action of the drugs."1.34Are psychiatric adverse events of antiepileptic drugs a unique entity? A study on topiramate and levetiracetam. ( Mula, M; Sander, JW; Trimble, MR, 2007)
