Two clinical investigations of a new anticonvulsant, eterobarb, N,N' dimethoxymethyl phenobarbital (DMMP), were conducted in separate geographic regions. The drug has considerable efficacy in reducing the frequency of partial seizures, with and without secondary generalization, as well as generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Sedation did not appear to be as prominent with this barbiturate as it was with phenobarbital or primidone.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
