Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) - Patient UK Synonym Lyell s syndrome after Alan Lyell who first described 4 cases of TEN in19561. This is an acute lifethreatening condition where severe widespread http://www.patient.co.uk/showdoc/40002155/
Extractions: PatientPlus articles are written for doctors and so the language can be technical. However, some people find that they add depth to the articles found in the other sections of this website which are written for non-medical people. Synonym: Lyell's Syndrome , after Alan Lyell who first described 4 cases of TEN in 1956. This is an acute onset, potentially life-threatening idiosyncratic mucocutaneous reaction, usually to new medication. Widespread full-thickness epidermal necrosis develops producing erythema, large blisters and/or exfoliation of large sheets of skin leaving a raw base. The skin often has an appearance akin to a scald. It usually affects the trunk, face and one or more mucous membranes. It is part of a spectrum of disease which includes (in order of severity) bullous erythema multiforme Stevens-Johnson syndrome and TEN. The reaction is thought to be an immune-complex mediated reaction to the presence of toxic drug metabolites which accumulate in the skin. A similar syndrome occurs predominantly in babies and the very young as a response to infection (usually staphylococcal), i.e. the staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome Incidence: Worldwide the incidence is thought to be about 0.4 to 1.2 cases per million population per year.

Extractions: Carbamazepine has anticonvulsant properties which have been found useful in the treatment of partial seizures (simple or complex) with and without secondary generalization, and generalized tonic-clonic seizures. A mild psychotropic effect has been observed in some patients, which seems related to the effect of carbamazepine in localization-related epilepsies and syndromes.: Clinical Trials: Evidence supporting the efficacy of carbamazepine as an anticonvulsant was derived from active drug-controlled studies that enrolled patients with the following seizure types: partial seizures with simple or complex symptomatology; generalized tonic-clonic seizures; mixed seizure patterns which include the above, or other partial or generalized seizures.

Extractions: VOLTAREN RAPIDE® Novartis Pharmaceuticals Diclofenac Potassium Anti-inflammatory - Analgesic Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Diclofenac potassium, the active substance of Voltaren Rapide is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgesic and antipyretic properties. Diclofenac inhibits prostaglandin synthesis by interfering with the action of prostaglandin synthetase. This inhibitory effect may partially explain its actions. It is considered to be a peripherally acting analgesic. Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: In humans, diclofenac can be detected in the plasma within 10 minutes of oral administration of diclofenac potassium tablets. Absorption is virtually complete. The area under the plasma curve (AUC) is dose proportional. A 50-mg tablet produces a mean peak plasma concentration of 3.8 µmol/L, 20 to 60 minutes post dose. The amount of diclofenac absorbed from diclofenac potassium is the same as that obtained from an equivalent diclofenac enteric-coated tablet dose. Since diclofenac undergoes extensive first-pass metabolism, only half of an orally administered dose is systemically available. The rate and extent of absorption of diclofenac are insignificantly affected (slightly delayed) when diclofenac potassium tablets are taken with food. When given in a regimen of 50 mg t.i.d. for 8 days, diclofenac potassium did not produce plasma accumulation of diclofenac.

APLASTIC ANEMIA AND AGRANULOCYTOSIS HAVE BEEN REPORTED IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE USE OF TEGRETOL. DATA FROM A POPULATION-BASED CASE CONTROL STUDY DEMONSTRATE THAT THE RISK OF DEVELOPING THESE REACTIONS IS 5-8 TIMES GREATER THAN IN THE GENERAL POPULATION. HOWEVER, THE OVERALL RISK OF THESE REACTIONS IN THE UNTREATED GENERAL POPULATION IS LOW, APPROXIMATELY SIX PATIENTS PER ONE MILLION POPULATION PER YEAR FOR AGRANULOCYTOSIS AND TWO PATIENTS PER ONE MILLION POPULATION PER YEAR FOR APLASTIC ANEMIA. ALTHOUGH REPORTS OF TRANSIENT OR PERSISTENT DECREASED PLATELET OR WHITE BLOOD CELL COUNTS ARE NOT UNCOMMON IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE USE OF TEGRETOL, DATA ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO ESTIMATE ACCURATELY THEIR INCIDENCE OR OUTCOME. HOWEVER, THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE CASES OF LEUKOPENIA HAVE NOT PROGRESSED TO THE MORE SERIOUS CONDITIONS OF APLASTIC ANEMIA OR AGRANULOCYTOSIS.

Data Sheet Serious dermatological reactions, including StevensJohnson syndrome, toxicepidermal necrolysis (Lyell s syndrome) and erythema multiforme, http://www.medsafe.govt.nz/profs/Datasheet/t/Trileptaltab.htm
Extractions: Each film-coated tablet contains 150 mg or 600 mg oxcarbazepine. For excipients, see List of excipients. Film-coated tablets, scored on both sides. Trileptal is indicated for the treatment of partial seizures (which include the seizure subtypes of simple, complex and partial seizures evolving to secondarily generalised seizures) and generalised tonic-clonic seizures, in adults and children. Trileptal is indicated as a first-line antiepileptic medicinal product for use as monotherapy or adjunctive therapy. Trileptal can replace other antiepileptic medicinal products when current therapy provides insufficient seizure control (see Pharmacodynamic properties - Clinical studies). Trileptal is suitable for use either as monotherapy or in combination with other antiepileptic medicinal products. In mono- and adjunctive therapy, treatment with Trileptal is initiated with a clinically effective dose given in two divided doses (see Pharmacodynamic properties - Clinical studies). The dose may be increased depending on the clinical response of the patient. When other antiepileptic medicinal products are replaced by Trileptal, the dose of the concomitant antiepileptic medicinal product(s) should be reduced gradually on initiation of Trileptal therapy. In adjunctive therapy, as the total antiepileptic medicinal product load of the patient is increased, the dose of concomitant antiepileptic medicinal product(s) may need to be reduced and/or the Trileptal dose increased more slowly (see Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction).

Extractions: The active ingredient is sodium-[o-[(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-amino]-phenyl]-acetate (= diclo-fenac sodium). One Voltaren ampoule of 3 mL contains 75 mg of diclofenac sodium. Solution for injection, concentrate for infusion Treatment of: Treatment or prevention of postoperative pain in a hospital setting. Voltaren ampoules should not be given for more than 2 days; if necessary, treatment can be continued with Voltaren tablets or suppositories. The following directions for intramuscular injection must be followed in order to avoid damage to a nerve or other tissue at the injection site. The dosage is generally one 75 mg ampoule daily, given by deep intragluteal injection into the upper outer quadrant. In severe cases (e.g. colic) the daily dose can exceptionally be increased to two injections of 75 mg, separated by an interval of a few hours (one into each buttock). Alternatively, one ampoule of 75 mg can be combined with other dosage forms of Voltaren (tablets, suppositories) up to a maximum daily dosage of 150 mg. In migraine attacks, clinical experience is limited to initial use of 1 ampoule of 75 mg administered as soon as possible, followed by suppositories up to 100 mg on the same day if required. The total dosage should not exceed 175 mg on the first day.
