Seizures : A seizure is the physical findings or changes in behavior that occur after an episode of abnormal electrical activity in the brain. The term "seizure" is often used interchangeably with "convulsion." Convulsions are when a person's body shakes rapidly and uncontrollably. During convulsions, the person's muscles contract and relax repeatedly. There are many different types of seizures. Some have mild symptoms and no body shaking. SYMPTOMS Symptoms may stop after a few seconds minutes, or continue for 15 minutes. They rarely continue longer. The person may have warning symptoms before the attack, such as: • Fear or anxiety • Nausea • Vertigo • Visual symptoms (such as flashing bright lights, spots, or wavy lines before the eyes) TREATMENT Anticonvulsants commonly used to stabilize mood include valproic acid (considered one of the most effective), carbamazepine, lamotrigine, topiramate, and gabapentin

Interactions

Probenecid decreases elimination. Antacids may reduce ofloxacin absorption, avoid for 2 hr either side of administration. Cimetidine may increase ofloxacin concentrations. Monitor blood glucose in patients on antidiabetic medication. Potentially Fatal: Corticosteroids may increase risk of tendon rupture. Increases effects of oral anticoagulants, ciclosporin, theophylline. Increased risk of seizures with NSAIDs. Avoid in patients taking QT prolonging medication (e.g. class Ia or III antiarrythmics, astemizole, terfenadine, cisapride, erythromycin, pentamidine, phenothiazines and some TCA).
