DETAILS

Description (English)

• Drug Groups: approved
• Description: Phensuximide is an anticonvulsant in the succinimide class. It suppresses the paroxysmal three cycle per second spike and wave EEG pattern associated with lapses of consciousness in petit mal seizures. The frequency of attacks is reduced by depression of nerve transmission in the motor cortex.
• Indication: For the treatment of epilepsy.
• Pharmacology: Phensuximide suppresses the paroxysmal three cycle per second spike and wave EEG pattern associated with lapses of consciousness in absence (petit mal) seizures. The frequency of attacks is reduced by depression of nerve transmission in the motor cortex.
• Affected Organisms: Humans and other mammals
• Biotransformation: Hepatic.
• Absorption: Rapid and complete.
• Protein Binding: 21%
