Title: Felbamate overdose: a case report and discussion of a new antiepileptic drug. Author: Nagel TR, Schunk JE. Journal: Pediatr Emerg Care; 1995 Dec; 11(6):369-71. PubMed ID: 8751173. Abstract: Felbamate was approved in July 1993 for use alone or in combination with other antiepileptic drugs for partial seizures and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. We report an overdose of felbamate in a teenage female patient who, in a suicide gesture, ingested eight times her maximum dose and suffered only mild side effects. This first report of a felbamate overdose is presented and followed by a discussion of felbamate's effectiveness, pharmacology, adverse effects, and drug interactions.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
