  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

The blood levels of Diphenylhydantoin (DPH), Phenobarbital (PB) and PB derivered from Primidone (PM) were measured by UV spectrophotometry (Saitoh's method) on 86 out-patients of our neuro-surgical clinic. They are recieving DPH, PB and PM. The most of them are prescrived both DPH and PB at a rate of 3 : 1. The standard dose ofour clinic is following ; DPH and PB are given 225-300 mg/day and 75-100 mg/day respectively in adults, and 125-225 mg/day and 50-75 mg/day in children.

It was found that the blood levels of DPH and PB have so large individual varietions that the dose in mg/kg might produse not optimal blood level, namely 8-20μg/ml in DPH and 10-25μg/ml in PB (Fig. 1 and 2). The blood levels of either DPH or PB in combined use of those drugs on well-controlled epileptic group were shown maintained at optimal range, but in many cases PB is over the minimum effective blood level, whereas DPH is under that level. Fixed rate of dose of DPH to PB is not advisable because of variety in blood levels of DPH. The rate of DPH to PB must be adjusted individually by blood level monitering.

Blood level monitering is of value especially in patients with refractory seizure and those with side effect like signs and symptomes, and in manage-ment of epilepsy as a guide to pertinense of anti-convulsant therapy.
