Preliminary data suggest that zonisamide is at least as effective as propranolol in patients with head tremor or essential tremor (14,72). Dizziness, somnolence, anorexia, abnormal thinking, ataxia, and confusion were more common with zonisamide compared to placebo. A meta-analysis, which calculated the odds ratios of adverse events reported in clinical trials, showed that patients on zonisamide were more likely to experience anorexia, ataxia, dizziness, and fatigue compared to patients receiving placebo (52). Monotherapy of Monotherapy Few clinical trials have evaluated the use of zonisamide in monotherapy for the treatment of epilepsy. When zonisamide is used by itself in children, the only adverse effect that occurs in 10% of individuals is somnolence (39). In some of these studies, this translated into a definite weight loss for many of the patients. A post hoc analysis of data from the major clinical trials demonstrated that significantly more patients on zonisamide (21. As a follow-up to the weight-loss effects, a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 60 obese nonepileptic patients demonstrated a mean weight loss of 9. Women who took zonisamide had an additional 5 pounds weight loss compared to those only on a diet. Rare Adverse Effects Early in the clinical trials of zonisamide, the formation of renal calculi was observed in some patients (55). Four patients of the 113 enrolled in this study had kidney stones form during the study. Kubota reported three cases of nephrolithiasis in patients receiving zonisamide (76) and Miyamoto reported the case of a 10-year-old girl with a kidney stone after starting zonisamide (77). Some have speculated that renal calculi formation is related to inhibition of carbonic anhydrase by zonisamide. Zonisamide is not contraindicated with patients with a history of kidney stones, but care should be taken when using zonisamide in these patients. Prudent management of patients on zonisamide should include adequate hydration to maintain good urine flow. Because zonisamide is chemically related to sulfonamide drugs, caution should be taken when using zonisamide in patients who note a prior allergic reaction to these agents. The exact cross-reactivity in patients known to be allergic to sulfonamides has not been determined. Oligohidrosis can occur with zonisamide, and is marked by decreased sweating and hyperthermia. Postmarketing surveillance indicates that oligohidrosis occurs primarily in children, with all reported cases in individuals 18 years of age. The estimated rate of incidence is approximately 12 cases per 10,000 patient-years (79). When zonisamide is used in children, parents should be instructed to carefully monitor for decreased sweating and increased body temperature. Children on zonisamide should not be exposed for prolonged periods of time to extreme heat. Individuals with impaired pulmonary or renal function are especially at risk for this side effect, and serum electrolytes should be monitored. Zonisamide doses were calculated to maintain plasma concentrations of 15 to 40 g/mL, and a battery of neuropsychological tests were administered prior to starting and after 12 weeks of zonisamide therapy. When plasma concentrations of zonisamide exceeded 30 g/mL the acquisition and consolidation of new information, especially verbal learning, were impaired. There were significantly more men than women with psychosis, and this group was younger than the general population of patients with epilepsy. Hirai and colleagues reported on 27 children in a prospective clinical trial of zonisamide monotherapy and two displayed behavioral disturbances (82). It is difficult to truly assess the incidence of these effects, because none of the reports accounted for the number of individuals taking zonisamide.

With intravenous methotrexate, the concurrent use of the kudzu decoction at 4 g/kg increased the half-life by 54% and decreased the clearance by 48%. Nevertheless, the findings suggest that kudzu might markedly increase the effects of methotrexate. The risks are likely to be greatest with high-dose methotrexate (for neoplastic diseases) and in patients with impaired renal function, but less in those given low doses (5 to 25 mg weekly) for psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis and with normal kidney function. Life-threatening interaction between the root extract of Pueraria lobata and methotrexate in rats. For comment on the blood-glucoselowering effects of puerarin, a major isoflavone constituent of kudzu, see Isoflavones + Antidiabetics, page 260. Puerarin, a major isoflavone constituent of kudzu, has been reported to be a weak benzodiazepine antagonist, see Isoflavones + Benzodiazepines, page 260. For a discussion of the evidence that puerarin, an isoflavone present in kudzu, might inhibit platelet aggregation, see Isoflavones + Cardiovascular drugs; Miscellaneous, page 260. For the possibility that high-dose biochanin A, an isoflavone present in kudzu, might increase digoxin levels, see Isoflavones + Digoxin, page 261. Kudzu + Nicotine For discussion of a study showing that daidzein and genistein present in kudzu caused a minor decrease in the metabolism of nicotine, see Isoflavones + Nicotine, page 261. Kudzu + Fexofenadine For the possibility that high-dose biochanin A, an isoflavone in kudzu, may slightly decrease fexofenadine levels in rats, see Isoflavones + Fexofenadine, page 261. K Kudzu + Oestrogens or Oestrogen antagonists Kudzu contains oestrogenic compounds. This may result in additive effects to oestrogens or it may oppose the effects of oestrogens. Similarly, kudzu may have additive effects to oestrogen antagonists or oppose the effects of oestrogen antagonists. Evidence, mechanism, importance and management Kudzu has a long history of use for menopausal symptoms, and is known to contain isoflavones (plant oestrogens). Numerous in vitro and animal studies have demonstrated oestrogenic effects for the herb (too many to cite here). Theoretically, the isoflavones from kudzu might have oestrogen antagonistic effects when they are given with potent oestrogenic drugs, as their oestrogenic effects are weaker and they might competitively inhibit the conventional oestrogenic drugs. Conversely, because of their oestrogenic effects it is possible that they might reduce the efficacy of potent oestrogen antagonists. Although many studies have been carried out, clinical information on the potential interaction of kudzu with oestrogens or oestrogen antagonists is sparse. On the basis of the postulated oestrogenic effects of kudzu and the theoretical mechanisms of antagonism, some have recommended caution if kudzu is given with other oestrogens including hormonal contraceptives, or with oestrogen antagonists such as tamoxifen. However, isoflavones from plants are widely consumed as part of the traditional diet in many parts of the world, and there is no clear evidence that this affects response to hormonal contraceptives or oestrogen antagonists such as tamoxifen. For further information on the oestrogenic effects of isoflavone supplements, see Isoflavones + Tamoxifen, page 262. Comparison of Pueraria lobata with hormone replacement therapy in treating the adverse health consequences of menopause. For the possibility that the isoflavones biochanin A and genistein present in kudzu might increase paclitaxel levels, see Isoflavones + Paclitaxel, page 261. Note that paclitaxel is used intravenously, and the effect of biochanin A on intravenous paclitaxel does not appear to have been evaluated. For the possibility that high doses of daidzein present in kudzu might modestly increase theophylline levels, see Isoflavones + Theophylline, page 263. Use and indications Lapacho is used traditionally for infectious diseases of bacterial, protozoal, fungal and viral origin, to enhance the immune system, and as an anti-inflammatory agent. It is also used as an anticancer therapy, especially in South America, and, although there is experimental evidence to support some of these uses, good clinical evidence is not available. Constituents Naphthoquinones are the major active constituents of the inner bark, the most important of which is lapachol, with deoxylapachol and - and -lapachone and others.

Source: Toluene is an aromatic hydrocarbon, occurring naturally in crude oil and in the tolu tree. It is produced during the process of making gasoline and other fuels from crude oil, in making coke from coal, and as a by-product in the manufacture of styrene. Toluene has numerous commercial and industrial applications and is a solvent in paints, lacquers, thinners, glues, correction fluid and nail polish remover, and is used in the printing and leather tanning processes. Recreational use is most common among younger adolescents primarily because it is readily available, inexpensive and legal. Potency, Purity and Dose: Solvents in many commercial and industrial products are often mixed and the solvent "sniffer" is often exposed to other solvents in addition to toluene. Acute and chronic accidental exposure to toluene can also occur, particularly in work environments. May be sniffed directly from on open container, or "huffed" from a rag soaked in the substance and held to the face. Alternatively, the open container or soaked rag can be placed in a bag where the vapors can concentrate before being inhaled. Pharmacokinetics: Toluene is well-absorbed following oral ingestion and rapidly absorbed following inhalation. Toluene is detectable in the arterial blood within - 85 - 10 seconds of inhalation exposure. It is highly lipid soluble and accumulates in adipose tissue, tissues with high fat content, and highly vascularized tissues.

Increase dosage no more frequently than at weekly intervals by increments of 2 mg once daily based on individual clinical response and tolerability. The recommended maintenance dose range is 8 mg to 12 mg once daily, although some patients may respond to a dose of 4 mg daily. A dose of 12 mg once daily resulted in somewhat greater reductions in seizure rates than the dose of 8 mg once daily, but with a substantial increase in adverse reactions. Increase dosage no more frequently than at weekly intervals by increments of 2 mg once daily based on individual clinical response and tolerability. Increase dosage by increments of 2 mg once daily based on individual clinical response and tolerability, no more frequently than at weekly intervals. Increase dosage by increments of 2 mg once daily no more frequently than every 2 weeks. The maximum recommended daily dose is 6 mg for patients with mild hepatic impairment and 4 mg for patients with moderate hepatic impairment. A slower titration may be considered, based on clinical response and tolerability. The provided adapter and graduated oral dosing syringe should be used to administer the oral suspension. The adapter, which is supplied in the product carton, should be inserted firmly into the neck of the bottle before use and remain in place for the duration of the usage of the bottle. The dosing syringe should be inserted into the adapter and the dose withdrawn from the inverted bottle. These effects were dose-related and generally appeared within the first 6 weeks of treatment, although new events continued to be observed through more than 37 weeks. In the partial-onset seizure clinical trials, these events occurred in patients with and without prior psychiatric history, prior aggressive behavior, or concomitant use of medications associated with hostility and aggression. Patients with active psychotic disorders and unstable recurrent affective disorders were excluded from the clinical trials. Similar serious psychiatric and behavioral events were observed in the primary generalized tonic-clonic seizure clinical trial. In the non-epilepsy trials, psychiatric events that occurred in perampanel-treated patients more often than placebo-treated patients included disorientation, delusion, and paranoia. There were four suicides in drug-treated patients in the trials and none in placebo-treated patients, but the number is too small to allow any conclusion about drug effect on suicide. Because most trials included in the analysis did not extend beyond 24 weeks, the risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior beyond 24 weeks could not be assessed. The risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior was generally consistent among drugs in the data analyzed. The risk did not vary substantially by age (5-100 years) in the clinical trials analyzed. Risk by indication for antiepileptic drugs in the pooled analysis Relative Risk: Placebo Patients Drug Patients Incidence of Events Indication with Events per with Events per in drug Patients/ 1000 Patients 1000 patients Incidence in Placebo Patients Epilepsy 1. Should suicidal thoughts and behavior emerge during treatment, the prescriber needs to consider whether the emergence of these symptoms in any given patient may be related to the illness being treated. Elderly patients had an increased risk of these adverse reactions compared to younger adults and pediatric patients. These adverse reactions were also observed in the primary generalized tonic-clonic seizure clinical trial. Elderly patients had an increased risk of these adverse reactions compared to younger adults and pediatric patients. In the controlled partial-onset seizure clinical trials, these adverse reactions occurred mostly during the titration phase. These adverse reactions were also observed in the primary generalized tonic-clonic seizure clinical trial. Elderly patients had an increased risk of falls compared to younger adults and pediatric patients.

Electrode Placement as Spatial Sampling Placement of scalp electrodes should be considered an exercise in spatial sampling. Electrode density must be generous enough to capture the available information but not so closely spaced as to overwhelm with redundant data. Inability to precisely locate a cortical generator may be the result of spatial undersampling ("aliasing"). The assumption that a potential will decrease monotonically as distance increases from the involved electrode is based not only on an uncomplicated electrical field, that is, a monopole, but also on an electrode placement sufficiently dense to accurately represent the spatial contours of the field. Because most epileptogenic potentials seen on the scalp are visible at multiple electrodes, a considerably larger cortical area must be synchronously discharging to produce these potentials. Especially controversial is the detectability of spikes generated in the mesial temporal lobe. Sphenoidal electrodes provide a significantly better view of the mesial area, as shown in Figure 7. When more precise localization is indicated to avoid spatial aliasing, scalp electrodes should be placed at least once every 2. The maximum spacing can be determined theoretically (65) as well as experimentally, and as many as 128 electrodes (spaced approximately 2 cm apart) may sometimes be necessary (66). Top: Surface electrode B sees a large electrical potential because of the orientation and proximity of the dipole layer, as borne out by the solid angle B. Bottom: In this case, the potential seen by electrode A is actually lower than that measured by the more distant electrode B because of the arrangement of the dipoles in the discharging region. Chapter 7: Localization and Field Determination in Electroencephalography 77 output. These devices, called differential amplifiers, eliminate unwanted signals that are identical at both inputs, called common-mode signals. The two terminals at the input to a differential amplifier are sometimes labeled G1 and G2, recalling when a screened "grid" within the vacuum tube amplifier controlled the flow of electrons from cathode to plate. Modern opamp-based differential amplifiers employ complex integrated circuits, and the terms "input 1" and "input 2" are used throughout this chapter. Note that in the conventional double-banana longitudinal montage without the sphenoidals, this discharge is almost invisible. Boundary Problems Regardless of the fineness of the scalp electrode grid, boundary effects will occur at the edges of the array. The maximum potential must be well within the scope of the recording electrodes to ascertain that a physiologic gradient exists away from the electrode. It is impossible to determine the complete extent of the maximum fields unless the area is surrounded by regions of lesser activity. Recordings in which the activity is large all the way to the boundary of the region defined by the montage must be "remontaged" to include, if possible, all the relevant electrodes, or further recording must be carried out with additional electrodes. This may be especially complicated when it is difficult to position electrodes inferior to the customary borders of scalp coverage. A significant portion of the head cannot be practically surveyed and important brain areas such as the basomesial temporal cortex and other deep sources are only indirectly accessible with standard scalp electrodes. Inexperienced electroencephalographers often mistakenly ascribe a polarity at the input to a specific pen deviation at the output (12). It should be remembered that there are no positive deflections and no negative deflections. Because a differential amplifier responds only to the difference between the two inputs (input 1 input 2), the spikes illustrated will yield identical output voltages; (80) (0) is the same as (120) (40).

Useful lessons were learned might have been tested in additional controlled trials. The chance of becoming seizure free when gabapentin was added early was nearly 50% (65). Complete seizure control persisted at this rate for a year after completion of one study (65). Side effects were common, but few were serious; 9% to 11% of patients dropped out of the studies prematurely because of adverse events. The reports corroborated what was seen in the studies mentioned above: efficacy was dose-related and increased at higher doses of gabapentin than were used in the controlled trials. A greater than 75% reduction in seizure frequency was observed in 28% of patients, and a 50% or more reduction was noted in 44%. Side effects were reported in 4% to 43% of patients but were infrequent causes of discontinuation. Dysphoria (aggression, irritability) and weight gain were more evident in these patients than among those in the controlled trials. Tolerability was generally good, with the majority of side effects occurring at doses 1800 mg/day (66), often being self-limited and mild to moderate in intensity. Monotherapy Trials Gabapentin does not have an indication for use in monotherapy in the United States. After an 8-week baseline, gabapentin was titrated to 600, 1200, or 2400 mg/day, and other medications were discontinued over 8 weeks. Although 15% to 26% converted successfully to monotherapy, there was no significant difference among the three doses. In the open-label extension, some patients taking 4800 mg/day were able to remain on monotherapy with gabapentin (82). Gabapentin therapy was associated with improved cognitive function, mood, and psychosocial adjustment in this dose-controlled study without a placebo group (82,86). A randomized, placebo-controlled monotherapy study lasting 8 days compared gabapentin 300 mg/day with gabapentin 3600 mg/day in 82 hospitalized patients whose other medications had been stopped during video monitoring for diagnostic purposes or presurgical evaluation (32). Rapid titration to 3600 mg/day was well tolerated and no patient discontinued because of side effects. Seventeen percent of the group randomized to 300 mg/day and 53% of those randomized to 3600 mg/day completed the 8-day study (P 0. Brief inpatient trials lend insight into the short-term tolerability and efficacy of a medication, but they do not provide evidence for long-term effectiveness. In the first trial, Chadwick and associates randomized 292 patients with newly diagnosed and previously untreated partial epilepsy to monotherapy with gabapentin (300, 900, or 1800 mg/day; blinded arms) or carbamazepine (600 mg/day; open-label treatment) for 6 months (83). Roughly equal percentages of patients taking gabapentin 900 or 1800 mg/day and carbamazepine 600 mg/day remained in the study at 6 months. Time to exit based on worsening seizures was significantly longer in patients receiving gabapentin 900 or 1800 mg/day, compared with those receiving gabapentin 300 mg/day. Study withdrawal rates because of adverse events were higher for patients receiving carbamazepine. These results suggest a role for gabapentin monotherapy in the newly diagnosed patient with infrequent seizures. Patients were titrated to gabapentin doses between 1800 and 3600 mg/day, or lamotrigine up to 300 mg/day. By study end (30 weeks), there was no significant difference in time to exit, proportion of patients that were seizure free, or time to first seizure, indicating that gabapentin was comparable to lamotrigine in this population. The majority of patients randomized to the gabapentin arm who completed the study were receiving 1800 mg/day (74. Similar proportions of patients in both study arms withdrew as result of adverse events.
