AEDS Flashcards
What new AED is associated with aggression?
Perampanel
Does perampanel cause a dose dependent side effect of aggression?
Yes
What age is the most common for dose dependent aggression with perampanel use?
Adolescents it is about 7.8% and in adults 1.3%
What is the most common psychological side effect of perampanel?
Irritability, seen in 11.8%
What AEDs have been sown to be effective for JME?
LEV, VPA, TPM, CLB
What AED can aggravate seizures in JME?
LTG
What AEDs aggravate absence seizures?
CBZ, OXC, GBP, TGB
What are the neuropsychological effects of AEDs?
Slowing of psychomotor speed and vigilance, and this risk is increased with rapid titration, higher dose, and polytherapy.
Can AEDs effect IQ in aldolescents and adults?
No, when used in mono therapy
Can AEDs effect IQ in a fetus or young?
Yes
When does the risk for TPM for cognitive side effects increase?
Dosing above 200 mg/day
What AEDS have the lowest risk for congenital malformations?
CBZ, LTG, LEV, and OXC
Which HLA alleles are associated with highest risk for TEN and Stevens-Johnson?
HLA-B 1502 in Asians only.
What HLA allele is associated with hypersensitive syndrome and maculopapular rash?
HLA-A 3101 in a variety is ethnic groups
What drugs are mostly renal excreted?
Levetiracetam, gabapentin, and pregabalin
What is the usual metabolism types that can be induced or inhibited by other drugs?
Drugs that undergo oxidation or glucuronidation
What AEDs does not reduce the efficacy of oral contraceptive pills?
Valporic acid
What AEDs alter oral contraceptive efficacy?
PHE, CBZ, TPM, OXC induce the clearance of ethinyl estradiol and/or synthetic progestin
Congenital malformations are increased with what AEDs?
Valproic acid are dose dependent, and TPM
Is there a difference between LTG and CBZ in congenital malformations?
Registries have not shown differences between the two.
What is the study design for obtaining FDA approval for the use of AED as mono therapy?
Conversion to mono therapy superiority design.
What type of proof will the FDA accept for monotherapy?
Only proof of superiority over standard treatment.
What two AEDs can induce skin rash due to cross-reactivity?
PHE and CBZ
What is the percentage of patients who gat skin rash from AED exposure?
As high as 15%
What other AED has cross-reactivity to CBZ?
Phenobarbital, but less than PHT
How does St John’s Wort alter AED levels?
Induction of cytochrome P450 enzymes.
What compounds in herbal medications have the greatest interactions with medications?
Hypericum perforating, magnesium, calcium, iron or ginkgo
When are serum concentrations beneficial to obtain?
- Individual level where a problem achieves desired outcome.
- Aid in diagnosis of toxicity.
- Assessing adherence
- Guiding dose adjustments during situations associated with pharmacokinetic variability
5 . When a known pharmacokinetic change will happen- pregnancy - Guiding dose adjustments for AEDs with dose dependent pharmacokinetics- Dilantin
What is the most important factor in determining the clearance of Dilantin?
Variants of CYP 2C9 and 2C19 the strongest predictors of clearance
How is LTG metabolized?
Glucuronidation
During pregnancy which AED can have increased clearance by up-to 200%?
LTG
When during pregnancy does estrogen have it’s largest effect on clearance of LTG?
First trimester
When does clearance of LTG return to pre-pregnancy levels?h
Shortly after delivery
