Antiepileptic drugs, also referred to as anticonvulsants, are a diverse group of medications used in the treatment of epileptic seizures. Antiepileptics work in a number of different ways to inhibit or slow down neuronal firing to prevent seizures from occurring. This pharmacology lecture covers topics such as pathophysiology and classification of seizures, action potential, excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission (role of glutamate and GABA), voltage-gated sodium and calcium channels, AMPA and NMDA receptors, mechanism of action and side effects of antiepileptic drugs. Drugs mentioned include; Carbamazepine, Oxcarbazepine, Lamotrigine, Phenytoin, Topiramate, Valproic acid, Zonisamide, Gabapentin, Pregabalin, Levetiracetam, Felbamate, Tiagabine, and Vigabatrin.

Huh, this is really interesting! I'm not a pharmacist or anything. I just have Epilepsy, its really cool to learn how my medications work! :)

You just condensed 60 slides of PPT information into 8.5 mins. Man I cannot thank you enough 🙏 💯 🔥

[desmondkatjipaha]

Stimulating an influx of chloride ions, gaba, delaying an influx of sodium and calcium. Thank you soo much for making it short and straight to the point

[Amjadkhan-tdcf]

teacher took one week to cover this topic and you taught this in less than 10 min.
watching hour before exam very helpful

[maqbooljan]

The most short but the easy way of presenting lectures. Extreme love for the presenter.

I rarely comment stuff but man you’re the best. Thank you so much for your work.
I’m preparing for farmacology exams (I’m a dentist) and it was like hell on the start. I only remember things if I can visualise them and put them into a logical system and this is what you exactly made in your videos. It helps me so much to understand farmacology, and finally what is most important, it’s really interesting to watch and learn this way at the same time. You simply made farmacology interesting.
Keep up the good work, you’re doing a verry productive informational help for future medics and farmacologists.
I wish I could have teachers like you.

You made that so much easier to understand than my professor did! As an epileptic individual, thank you for helping me better understand how my medication works!

[gkilkhl]

Thank you for helping me understand what is going on in my brain (I take levetiracetam). I’ve always had a slight interest in pharmacology but you’ve pushed me a lot closer to this field.

You are really helping health care professionals with your short and effective "Speed Pharmacology" videos. Thank you very much.

[j.vitorg.]

Uau, I never had seen such didactic way to approach a subject. I never commented a video, but you owed my love. Congratulations, thank you so much for what you are doing.

[georginahbwilliams]

Getting addicted to watching these videos! You are the best 🤗

[SurajChaudhary-ztos]

I watch these videos and then read Lippincott. It has made so easy to understand the text. How he explains the transmission at the synapse really makes everything clear and easy to learn.

[Jaysay]

Excellent video! When you listen the common side effects, it felt like a huge bonus to the video

[WamOceanic]

your way of delivering so much information with making it simple to understand is outstanding. excellent work.
