[Treatment of epileptic crisis with chlorazepate dipotassium. Clinical study of 48 patients with the determination of serum levels of nordiazepam].

Abstract

48 patients with several types of seizures (following the international classification of epileptic seizures), were studied. Dipotassium chlorazepate was administered as a secondary antiepileptic drug. The cases were selected due to the severity of their seizures. The therapeutic results were evaluated with a daily record of seizures and attempt was made to correlate the serum levels of nordiazepam with the clinical results.
