Question:
Which of the following describes the mechanisms of action of antiseizure
medications? Select all that apply.
Answer:
The mechanisms of action of antiseizure medications include suppression of
sodium influx, suppression of calcium influx, promotion of potassium efflux,
blockade of glutamate receptors, and an increase of gamma-aminobutyric
acid (GABA). Antiseizure drugs are known to suppress the discharge of
neurons within a seizure focus and suppress the propagation of seizure
activity to other areas of the brain. Recently, it was discovered that nearly all
antiseizure drugs act through five basic mechanisms: suppression of sodium
influx, suppression of calcium influx, promotion of potassium efflux,
blockade of receptors for glutamate, and potentiation or increase of gamma-
aminobutyric acid (GABA).

During an outbreak, you may use an antiviral ointment or cream to help
lessen your symptoms and help them go away faster, but it only works if you
start it soon after you start an outbreak. Many people with HSV-2 take daily

Your provider may prescribe a topical (applied to the skin) medication or oral
medication such as:
Acyclovir (Sitavig®, Zovirax®).
Famciclovir (Famvir®).
Valacyclovir (Valtrex®).

Question:
Amaya is Asian. When considering a change in antiseizure medications,
which of the following medications carry a higher risk for Amaya?
Answer:
Carbamazepine and phenytoin both carry a higher risk for Steven Johnson's
Syndrome (SJS) or toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) for Asians. Product
labeling warns that the risk for developing SJS or TEN is strongly associated
with a genetic mutation known as human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B*1502,
which occurs almost exclusively in people of Asian descent. For this reason,
phenytoin should not be prescribed for patients known to have this mutation
