Carbamazepine is a first-line treatment for partial seizures. However, it can sometimes exacerbate epilepsy symptoms. Patients at highest risk include those with severe, frequent seizures or multiple medications. Carbamazepine works by reducing abnormal nerve activity in the brain, but high doses can paradoxically increase seizures. Both old and new antiepileptic drugs may worsen seizures, but carbamazepine is most commonly linked to exacerbating generalized seizure types like absence or myoclonic seizures. Close monitoring is needed when using carbamazepine to treat epilepsy.

Periode 25 Februari – 30 Maret 2019 Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Kristen Indonesia Jakarta EPILEPSI Penyakit kronik yang ditandai oleh kejang / disfungsi otak
paroksismal akibat pelepasan neuron yang berlebihan
Adanya ketidakseimbangan neurotransmitter
Dimanifestasi berupa gangguan / penurunan kesadaran yang
sensorik oleh kelainan aktivitas listrik di otak. CARBAMAZEPINE Golongan Benzodiazepine
Agen antikonvulsan yang cukup efektif dan menjadi lini
pertama untuk onset kejang parsial
Reinforce the inhibitory action of GABAergic neuron by
reducing the spread of seizure activity in the brain and
restoring the normal balance of nerve activity. EPILEPSI EKSASERBASI Those at greatest risk of experiencing drug-related seizure
exacerbation are disabled patients, children with severe
epileptic encephalopathies, those with high seizure frequency and severe seizure type, also the polytherapy
AED could affect sleep organization and daytime alertness, it
also cause the sleep disorders that may mimic epileptic
seizures EPILEPSI EKSASERBASI Several experiments in rats and cats demonstrated that CBZ can abolish the prolonged electrical activity which may develop into seizures Sedative and pro-convulsive effects of high serum levels, drug- associated encephalopathy and a paradoxical pharmacodinamic effect. Both old and new AED may exacerbate seizures, but carbamazepine-induced generalized seizures (such as absence and myoclonic) are best documented.
