primidone and Canine Diseases

primidone has been researched along with Canine Diseases in 26 studies

Primidone: A barbiturate derivative that acts as a GABA modulator and anti-epileptic agent. It is partly metabolized to PHENOBARBITAL in the body and owes some of its actions to this metabolite.
primidone : A pyrimidone that is dihydropyrimidine-4,6(1H,5H)-dione substituted by an ethyl and a phenyl group at position 5. It is used as an anticonvulsant for treatment of various types of seizures.

( Chandler, ML; Cunningham, JG; Ford, RB; Gifford, JA; Hulce, VD; LeVier, RR, 1981)
" When phenobarbital is used in combination with bromide, a reasonable therapeutic range for serum phenobarbital concentrations is 9 to 36 micrograms/ml, although in some dogs treated with bromide, phenobarbital can eventually be discontinued."1.30Therapeutic serum drug concentrations in epileptic dogs treated with potassium bromide alone or in combination with other anticonvulsants: 122 cases (1992-1996).

" Serum concentrations of phenobarbital were measured in all dogs before and after primidone therapy was initiated, to ensure that the primidone dosage achieved comparable or higher values when derived from primidone."1.27Efficacy of primidone in dogs with seizures unresponsive to phenobarbital. ( Farnbach, GC, 1984)
" The dosage of anticonvulsant drug was found to modify certain test results."1.27Compromised hepatic function in dogs treated with anticonvulsant drugs. ( Baldwin, BH; Bunch, SE; Hornbuckle, WE; Tennant, BC, 1984)
