Effects of clobazam and its active metabolite on GABA-activated currents in rat cerebral neurons in culture.

abstract：:Twenty-seven epileptic patients, most from low socioeconomic groups and aged 15-54 years, were studied for effects of prolonged anticonvulsant medication. They had received the usual doses of phenobarbitone and diphenylhydantoin (PHT) regularly for 3-32 years, with control of seizures, and had not taken any B-vitamins...
