Today’s video is all about epilepsy anticonvulsant drugs for Nursing Students and NCLEX Review.

Anticonvulsant drugs are used to treat seizures (from epilepsy), which are sudden abnormal electrical discharges from nerve cells in the brain. These drugs help prevent brain seizures by blocking the spread of neuronal activity that causes them.

The most common anticonvulsant drugs include Levetiracetam and Phenytoin – and both have different interactions and required nursing interventions.

i really appreciate the level of effort that has gone into presenting scenarios from various question banks!! your videos help me both learn about medications and how to think about them in test settings. thank you!!

[jaysontiger]

For so long I kept doing flash cards and would know all of them but when it was time to do the tests I would forget all of them. But after watching these videos it taught me that I am a visual learner. These videos help me with how to remember small steps and verbiage! Thank you for these.

These videos are so so so so helpful. TY!

On a side note: those 30% of students that selected "phenytoin causes metallic taste" probably did so because Mccuisition 10th edition Pharmacology text book says it causes a metallic taste

ugh...so over this class lol

How many drugs do you need to know about for the nclex?

[amberdavis]

If a patient gets a skin rash, does the doctor stop the medicine or is it still tapered?

[craigfarrington]

I have epilepsy and would really like to know if     would interfere in any way with my antiseizure medication which is Lamictal and Keppra.

I'm still confused why depakote can t discover a way to stop hyperammonia. Can't they add NAC or take away whatever it is that triggers this absurdity? It's 2024.

What should I consider if I’m on my 3rd drug and nothing change.

[Tom-bszh]

I was prescribed Levetiracetam before. Is it similar to memory enhancing medications like phenylpiracetam or Piracetam?

[Scroticus_Maximus]

I'm on 1250MG of Levetiracetam twice daily as well as 500MG Phenytoin once daily. How worried should I be?

Valporic acid medicin cause infertility?
