As clinical trials have produced disappointing results. Work on refinamide, losigamone and ganaxalone has also halted despite initial hopes that these would be useful drugs. Felbamate and zonisamide are not available for routine use in the UK, although they are marketed in some other countries. Felbamate is an effective drug but was found to cause serious aplastic anaemia and liver failure. It is estimated that one in 4, 000 patients treated is affected. At least three derivatives of valproic acid are currently in clinical trials.These may be more potent and less toxic than sodium valproate.6 There is hope that they will prove to be less hepatotoxic and teratogenic; some of the in vivo data look promising. Pregabalin is currently at the phase III stage of development. It is a derivative of gabapentin which increases the levels of GABA gamma-aminobutyric acid ; in neuronal tissue and binds to a subunit of Ca2 + channels. Retigabine is also undergoing phase III trial evaluation. Results from animal studies suggest it has potent anticonvulsant activity, possibly mediated by increasing K + conducH O S P.
One study looked at the legibility of doctors' handwriting compared with that of other clinicians, healthcare executives, and managers. Independent volunteers gave their subjective ratings of legibility as either poor, fair, good, or excellent. They found that the poorest scores were associated with executives and males, but not specifically with doctors.1 The researchers concluded, however, that just because they found doctors' handwriting to be average didn't make it acceptable--they were worried that illegible handwriting can be an important clinical hazard. Another study had conflicting results and supports the conventional wisdom that doctors' handwriting is worse than most. Researchers used computer analysis to compare doctors' handwriting with that of nurses and administrative staff. Even though they were all asked to write neatly the doctors had significantly worse handwriting than the others.2 Interestingly, the researchers found that poor legibility was confined to letters of the alphabet rather than numbers. This could indicate how important doctors think the legibility of drug dosages is. But it's not just dosages that need to be written clearly--badly scrawled drug names can become a matter of life or death if someone can't read an illegible prescription, for example, valproic acid migraine.

Mutations that develop resistance to protease inhibitors PIs ; , alter binding points at the protease protein, reducing their affinity. Although some mutations are more specific to certain PIs e.g. D30N mutation selected by nelfinavir, the I50V by amprenavir or the I50L by atazanavir ; , most PIassociated mutations develop broad cross-resistance to several agents within this drug class. Protease inhibitor-associated resistance mutations appear in a stepwise fashion and usually, several mutations need to accumulate to develop high-level resistance to these agents. For most available PIs, the emergence of two or more key mutations e.g. D30N, G48V, I50V, V82A F T S, I84V and L90M ; implies a significant decrease in their susceptibility. Also, D30N, N88S and I50L mutations may develop hypersusceptibility to other PIs. New PIs under development like tipranavir or atazanavir present an alternative resistance profile. The I50L mutation appears to be the signature mutation for atazanavir and differs from the I50V mutation seen with amprenavir. It produces a significant reduction in the susceptibility to atazanavir but has been associated with increased susceptibility to other PIs and ativan, for example, valproic acd.

Carbamazepine Clinical toxicity has been reported when Epilim was administered with carbamazepine as Epilim may potentiate toxic effects of carbamazepine. Clinical monitoring is recommended especially at the beginning of combined therapy with dosage adjustment when appropriate. - Lamotrigine Epilim may reduce lamotrigine metabolism and increase its mean half-life, dosages should be adjusted lamotrigine dosage decreased ; when appropriate. Co-administration of lamotrigine and Epilim might increase the risk of rash. - Zidovudine Epilim may raise zidovudine plasma concentration leading to increased zidovudine toxicity. - Vitamin K-dependent anticoagulants The anticoagulant effect of warfarin and other coumarin anticoagulants may be increased following displacement from plasma protein binding sites by valproic acid. The prothrombin time should be closely monitored. - Temozolomide Co-administration of temozolomide and Epilim may cause a small decrease in the clearance of temozolomide that is not thought to be clinically relevant. 4.5.2 Effects of other drugs on Epilim Antiepileptics with enzyme inducing effect including phenytoin, phenobarbital, carbamazepine ; decrease valproic acid plasma concentrations. Dosages should be adjusted according to blood levels in case of combined therapy. On the other hand, combination of felbamate and Epilim may increase valproic acid plasma concentration. Epilim dosage should be monitored. Mefloquine and chloroquine increase valproic acid metabolism and may lower the seizure threshold; therefore epileptic seizures may occur in cases of combined therapy. Accordingly, the dosage of Epilim may need adjustment. In case of concomitant use of Epilim and highly protein bound agents e.g. aspirin ; , free valproic acid plasma levels may be increased. Valproix acid plasma levels may be increased as a result of reduced hepatic metabolism ; in case of concomitant use with cimetidine or erythromycin. Carbapenem antibiotics such as imipenem, panipenem and meropenem: Decrease in valproic acid blood level, sometimes associated with convulsions, has been observed when imipenem or meropenem were combined. If these antibiotics have to be administered, close monitoring of valproic acid blood levels is recommended. Colestyramine may decrease the absorption of Epilim. 4.5.3 Other Interactions Caution is advised when using Epilim in combination with newer anti-epileptics whose pharmacodynamics may not be well established. Epilim usually has no enzyme-inducing effect; as a consequence, Epilim does not reduce efficacy of oestroprogestative agents in women receiving hormonal contraception, including the oral contraceptive pill. 4.6 Use during pregnancy and lactation Women of childbearing potential should not be started on Epilim without specialist neurological advice. Adequate counselling should be made available to all women with epilepsy of childbearing potential regarding the risks associated with pregnancy because of the.
