Y1 - 2015 N1 - T2 - Applied Clinical Pharmacokinetics, 3e AB - Oxcarbazepine is an iminostilbene derivative related to the tricyclic antidepressants that is used in the treatment of tonic-clonic (grand mal), partial, or secondarily generalized seizures (Table 17-1).1,2,3, and 4 Lack of an intravenous dosage form has limited its use in the treatment of acute seizures. Thus, the drug is used primarily as a prophylactic agent in the chronic therapy of epilepsy. Oxcarbazepine is also a useful agent to treat bipolar affective disorders and neurogenic pain (trigeminal neuralgia, diabetic neuropathy, etc) after carbamazepine has been considered.5,6,7, and 8 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Medical CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/19 UR - accesspharmacy.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1106304225 ER -
