Differential selectivity of several barbiturates on experimental seizures and neurotoxicity in the mouse.

abstract：PURPOSE:Five to 20% of patients discontinue antiepileptic drug (AED) therapy because of adverse reactions. Careful reintroduction, however, may be considered if true drug allergy can be ruled out. Definitive assessment of such immunologically mediated reactions requires demonstration of either specific antibodies or se...
