primidone and Recrudescence

primidone has been researched along with Recrudescence in 13 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.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Intermittent diazepam prophylaxis at times of fever may or may not reduce the recurrence rate significantly, but there is no data to suggest that it improves the long-term outcome, as compared with short-term seizure control, in terms of IQ, cognition, academic progress, motor control, and subsequent epilepsy."4.81[Febrile convulsions, Treatment and prognosis]. ( Knudsen, FU, 2001)
"A 74 year old man presented to the Old Age Psychiatry Service with cognitive deficits while being treated for recurrent depressive episodes and essential tremor with Venlafaxine, Lithium, and Primidone."3.81Drug-induced cerebral glucose metabolism resembling Alzheimer's Disease: a case study. ( Beer, AJ; Riepe, MW; Vonend, C; Walther, B, 2015)
"The most important factor determining seizure recurrence was continued therapy, which was the case for barbiturates, phenytoin and valproate."2.69Does withdrawal of different antiepileptic drugs have different effects on seizure recurrence? Further results from the MRC Antiepileptic Drug Withdrawal Study. ( Chadwick, D, 1999)
"The recurrence rate of febrile convulsions is assessed in 108 children who had had either prolonged or repeated initial fits or had both a positive family history and persisting neurological disorder."2.64Continuous phrophylcatic anticonvulsants in selected childrens with febrile convulsions. ( Wallace, SJ, 1975)
"There was a greater risk of recurrence among girls."1.28[Factors influencing the effectiveness of preventive treatment of febrile convulsions]. ( Armijo Simón, JA; Arteaga Manjón-Cabeza, R; Herranz Fernández, JL, 1989)
" The remaining 95 children were given sodium valproate; the dosage was 20-25 mg/kg/day b."1.26Phenobarbital, primidone and sodium valproate in the prophylaxis of febrile convulsions. ( Minagawa, K; Miura, H, 1981)
