I O With the emphasis on cardiovascular research and a wide range of established cardiovascular products, Merck has become more and more a partner of the medical profession. A partner in the task of treating patients with hypertension, coronary artery disease or congestive heart failure even more efficiently. Latest studies like TIBBS and CIBIS showed promising results for patients with CAD or cardiac insufficiency. For more details about these study results, our products, and our new innovative therapeutic principles please contact Merck KGaA, Pha I, CSM Cardiovascular, 64271 Darmstadt, Germanv. Noted that there are also contrary findings in the literature.67 The clinician is thus urged to keep abreast of the ongoing literature on this possible risk-lowering effect of clozapine. 3. Lithium Although there are many medications used to successfully prevent or diminish mood instability in patients with bipolar disorder, studies have noted that lithium treatment significantly reduces the rate of suicides and suicide attempts in such patients.18, 19, 88 It should also be noted that discontinuing lithium treatment is associated with an increase in suicide morbidity and mortality, particularly in the first 12 months.17 4. Anti-convulsants Anti-convulsant drugs may be used as mood stabilizers in bipolar disorder. In January 2008, the FDA published the following Safety Information Alerts: [Posted 01 31 2008]89 FDA informed healthcare professionals that the Agency has analyzed reports of suicidality suicide behavior or ideation ; from placebo-controlled clinical studies of 11 drugs used to treat epilepsy as well as psychiatric disorders, and other conditions. In the FDA's analysis, patients receiving antiepileptic drugs had approximately twice the risk of suicidal behavior or ideation 0.43% ; compared to patients receiving placebo 0.22% ; . The increased risk of suicidal behavior and suicidal ideation was observed as early as one week after starting the antiepileptic drug and continued through 24 weeks. The results were generally consistent among the eleven drugs. The relative risk for suicidality was higher in patients with epilepsy compared to patients who were given one of the drugs in the class for psychiatric or other conditions. Healthcare professionals should closely monitor all patients currently taking or staring any antiepileptic for notable changes in behavior that could indicate the emergence or worsening of suicidal thought or behavior or depression. The drugs included in the analyses include some of these drugs are also available in generic form ; : Carbamazepine marketed as Carbatrol, Equetro, Tegretol, Tegretol XR ; Felbamate marketed as Felbatol ; Gabapentin marketed as Neurontin ; Lamotrigine marketed as Lamictal ; Levetiracetam marketed as Keppra ; Xcarbazepine marketed as Trileptal ; Pregabalin marketed as Lyrica ; Tiagabine marketed as Gabitril. Farmers were instrumental in redefining the breeding objectives for maize in Gulmi table 3 ; , while in certain other cases, however, breeders had more say in setting breeding objectives, which were later verified with the farming communities e.g., chaite and main-season rice in HPPS ; . These examples indicate that the participation of farmers and researchers in different circumstances and stages is important if the right opportunity to influence breeding is to be captured. This requires continuous collaboration and commitment from those involved. Diverse production environments within HPPS LI-BIRD's experience shows that diverse, niche environments and different user choices do exist in the HPPS. For example, the Chitwan valley 150250 m ; of Nepal is considered a high-potential production system. However, through a series of PVS and IRD5 activities in a participatory crop-improvement project in Chitwan valley, it was found that Chitwan has different production environments for rice: low-lying swampy, rain-fed, partially irrigated, and well-irrigated areas. Variations in soil fertility and farmers' preferences also exist in these areas. Different technologies are needed for these conditions. In such circumstances, participatory crop improvement approaches have also been effective DTZ Peida 1999 ; , justifying the belief that PPB should not be limited to marginal production systems only Witcombe 1999 ; . Diversity through PPB As formal breeding systems aim for wider adaptability and uniform varieties, the promotion of uniform varietal technologies may reduce diversity. In HPPS, where a modern variety is widely grown e.g., CH-45, a variety of Chaite rice grown in 98% of the project area ; , PPB has the potential to increase biodiversity Joshi et al. 1998; Witcombe et al. 2000 ; . Hence, PPB creates diversity, and this would help create sustainable production systems. Participation The breeding process involves the participation of farmers women and men ; and researchers at different stages of PPB for different purposes. Depending on the objective and nature of the work, the mode of participation may vary from one stage to another in the same PPB project table 3 ; . For quality participation, it is also important to establish and agree upon the roles and responsibilities of different actors partners. LI-BIRD has experienced that having such an arrangement, even with grassroots organizations, actually enhances the participation of all those involved. Annex `A' shows an agreement on various tasks between LI-BIRD and two community-based organizations, while annex `B' shows those agreements between farmers and researchers the Nepal Agricultural Research Council and LI-BIRD ; . An analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the participating institutions also helps identify areas for capacity or skill building for the respective institutions, researchers, and farmers. Such kinds of partnership are increasingly becoming important in the context of developing a critical mass of researchers and sharing resources for PPB.

Post-Marketing and Other Experience The following adverse events not seen in controlled clinical trials have been observed in named patient programs or postmarketing experience: Body as a Whole: Multi-organ hypersensitivity disorders characterized by features such as rash, fever, lymphadenopathy, abnormal liver function tests, eosinophilia and arthralgia see PRECAUTIONS, Multi-Organ Hypersensitivity subsection ; . Anaphylaxis see WARNINGS, Anaphylactic Reactions and Angioedema subsection ; . Digestive System: Pancreatitis and or lipase and or amylase increase. Skin and Appendages: Erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis see WARNINGS, Serious Dermatological Reactions subsection ; . DRUG ABUSE AND DEPENDENCE Abuse The abuse potential of oxcarbazepine has not been evaluated in human studies. Dependence Intragastric injections of oxcarbazepine to four cynomolgus monkeys demonstrated no signs of physical dependence as measured by the desire to self-administer oxcarbazepine by lever pressing activity. OVERDOSAGE Human Overdose Experience Isolated cases of overdose with oxcarbazepine have been reported. The maximum dose taken was approximately 24, 000 mg. All patients recovered with symptomatic treatment. Treatment and Management There is no specific antidote. Symptomatic and supportive treatment should be administered as appropriate. Removal of the drug by gastric lavage and or inactivation by administering activated charcoal should be considered. DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Oxcarbszepine is recommended as adjunctive treatment in the treatment of partial seizures in adults and children aged 4-16 years. Oxcarbasepine is also recommended as monotherapy in the treatment of partial seizures in adults and children aged 4-16 years. All dosing should be given in a twice-a-day BID ; regimen. Oxcarbaazepine oral suspension and oxcarbazepine film-coated tablets may be interchanged at equal doses. Oxcabazepine should be kept out of the reach and sight of children. Oxcarbazepine can be taken with or without food see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Pharmacokinetics subsection ; . Adults Adjunctive Therapy Treatment with oxcarbazepine should be initiated with a dose of 600 mg day, given in a BID regimen. If clinically indicated, the dose may be increased by a maximum of 600 mg day at approximately weekly intervals; the recommended daily dose is 1200 mg day. Daily doses above 1200 mg day show somewhat greater effectiveness in controlled trials, but most patients were not able to tolerate the 2400 mg day dose, primarily because of CNS effects. It is recommended that the patient be observed closely and plasma levels of the concomitant AEDs be monitored during the period of oxcarbazepine titration, as these plasma levels may be altered, especially at oxcarbazepine doses greater than 1200 mg day see PRECAUTIONS, Drug Interactions subsection ; . Conversion to Monotherapy Patients receiving concomitant AEDs may be converted to monotherapy by initiating treatment with oxcarbazepine at 600 mg day given in a BID regimen ; while simultaneously initiating the reduction of the dose of the concomitant AEDs. The concomitant AEDs should be completely withdrawn over 3-6 weeks, while the maximum dose of oxcarbazepine should be reached in about 2-4 weeks. Oxcarbazepine may be increased as clinically indicated by a maximum increment of 600 mg day at approximately weekly intervals to achieve the recommended daily dose of 2400 mg day. A daily dose of 1200 mg day has been shown in one study to be effective in patients in whom monotherapy has been initiated with oxcarbazepine. Patients should be observed closely during this transition phase. Initiation of Monotherapy Patients not currently being treated with AEDs may have monotherapy initiated with oxcarbazepine. In these patients, oxcarbazepine should be initiated at a dose of 600 mg day given in a BID regimen the dose should be increased by 300 mg day every third day to a dose of 1200 mg day. Controlled trials in these patients examined the effectiveness of a 1200 mg day dose; a dose of 2400 mg day has been shown to be effective in patients converted from other AEDs to oxcarbazepine monotherapy see above ; . Pediatric Patients Adjunctive Therapy Aged 4-16 Years ; In pediatric patients aged 4-16 years, treatment should be initiated at a daily dose of 8-10 mg kg generally not to exceed 600 mg day, given in a BID regimen. The target maintenance dose of oxcarbazepine should be achieved over two weeks, and is dependent upon patient weight, according to the following chart: 20-29 kg - 900 mg day 29.1-39 kg - 1200 mg day 39 kg - 1800 mg day In the clinical trial, in which the intention was to reach these target doses, the median daily dose was 31 mg kg with a range of 6-51 mg kg. Under adjunctive therapy with and without enzyme-inducing AEDs ; , when normalized by body weight, apparent clearance L hr kg ; decreased when age increased such that children 4 to 12 years of age may require a 50% higher oxcarbazepine dose per body weight compared to adults. Pediatric dosing and drug clearance information for pediatric patients ages 2 to 4 years is approved for Novartis Pharmaceuticals corporation's oxcarbazepine tablets. However due to Novartis' marketing exclusivity rights, this drug product is not labeled for this age group. Conversion to Monotherapy Aged 4-16 Years ; Patients receiving concomitant antiepileptic drugs may be converted to monotherapy by initiating treatment with oxcarbazepine at approximately 8-10 mg kg day given in a BID regimen, while simultaneously initiating the reduction of the dose of the concomitant antiepileptic drugs. The concomitant antiepileptic drugs can be completely withdrawn over 3-6 weeks while oxcarbazepine may be increased as clinically indicated by a maximum increment of 10 mg kg day at approximately weekly intervals to achieve the recommended daily dose. Patients should be observed closely during this transition phase. The recommended total daily dose of oxcarbazepine is shown in the table below. Initiation of Monotherapy Aged 4-16 Years ; Patients not currently being treated with antiepileptic drugs may have monotherapy initiated with oxcarbazepine. In these patients, oxcarbazepine should be initiated at a dose of 8-10 mg kg day given in a BID regimen. The dose should be increased by 5 mg kg day every third day to the recommended daily dose shown in the table below.

Carbamazepine, valproate, lamotrigine, and oxcarbazepine are used widely for mood stabilization, while benzodiazepines and pregabalin are used to treat anxiety.

This trial contributes to previous observations of possible antimanic efficacy of OXC 1, 22, 23 ; . The comparison of these studies with our findings is limited because of the use of different psychometric scales Inpatient Multidimensional Rating Scale [IMPS-scale] ; and a different, placebo-controlled study design. Furthermore the authors did not draw any conclusion whether any patients prematurely discontinued the study suggesting that the observed patients suffered from less severe manic episodes than in our trial. While our small sample size limits conclusions, the individual courses and scores suggest a certain antimanic property only in patients with low to moderate manic episodes: The analysis of the individual courses show, that from six patients who completed the on-off-on trial, three patients patients 5, 6 and 10 ; improved during the initial phase, worsened off the drug, and improved again on the drug, which might be consistent with a positive drug effect. Two of these three patients patients 5 and 6 ; showed only a minimal worsening during the off-period 3 and 4 point YMRS score changes ; . The remaining three patients did not show a pattern of response consistent with a positive drug effect. Patient one worsened during the initial phase, and then improved during the off-period and the second on-period. Patient 4 worsened during the initial phase, did not change during the off-period, and then improved during the second on-period. Patient 11 did not change during the initial phase, and then worsened during the off-period and the second on-period. In contrast to previously performed studies 22, 23 ; in which all included patients showed significant improvement of their manic symptoms, in our trial all patients with severe manic episodes YMRS baselines scores 30 ; did not even reach the off-period and had to be discontinued prematurely, independently of the received target dose, serum plasma levels or use of concomitant medication. The strategy of rapidly increasing OXC to the maximum permitted dose of 2100 mg day in those patients did neither influence their response. Oxcarbazepine was both objectively and, in the patients opinion, well tolerated. This supports and stavudine.

20-29 kg - 900 mg day 29.1-39 kg - 1200 mg day 39 kg - 1800 mg day In the clinical trial, in which the intention was to reach these target doses, the median daily dose was 31 mg kg with a range of 6-51 mg kg. In pediatric patients aged 2- 4 years, treatment should also be initiated at a daily dose of 8-10 mg kg generally not to exceed 600 mg day, given in a BID regimen. For patients under 20 kg, a starting dose of 16-20 mg kg may be considered see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY ; . The maximum maintenance dose of Trileptal should be achieved over 2-4 weeks and should not exceed 60 mg kg day in a BID regimen. In the clinical trial in pediatric patients 2 to 4 years of age ; in which the intention was to reach the target dose of 60 mg kg day, 50% of patients reached a final dose of at least 55 mg kg day. Under adjunctive therapy with and without enzyme-inducing AEDs ; , when normalized by body weight, apparent clearance L hr kg ; decreased when age increased such that children 2 to 4 years of age may require up to twice the oxcarbazepine dose per body weight compared to adults; and children 4 to 12 years of age may require a 50% higher oxcarbazepine dose per body weight compared to adults. Conversion to Monotherapy Aged 4-16 Years ; Patients receiving concomitant antiepileptic drugs may be converted to monotherapy by initiating treatment with Trileptal at approximately 8-10 mg kg day given in a BID regimen, while simultaneously initiating the reduction of the dose of the concomitant antiepileptic drugs. The concomitant antiepileptic drugs can be completely withdrawn over 3-6 weeks while Trileptal may be increased as clinically indicated by a maximum increment of 10 mg kg day at approximately weekly intervals to achieve the recommended daily dose. Patients should be observed closely during this transition phase. The recommended total daily dose of Trileptal is shown in the table below. Initiation of Monotherapy Aged 4-16 Years ; Patients not currently being treated with antiepileptic drugs may have monotherapy initiated with Trileptal. In these patients, Trileptal should be initiated at a dose of 8-10 mg kg day given in a BID regimen. The dose should be increased by 5 mg kg day every third day to the recommended daily dose shown in the table below. Table 7: Range of Maintenance Doses of Trileptal for Children by Weight During Monotherapy. The Buranjis, historical literature of medieval Assam, while referring to AssamOrissa contact, give some insight on Jagannatha worship in medieval Assam. One Assam Buranji, written by Harkanta Sadar Amin states that the Ahom King Suhungmung or Swarganarayana c 14971539 A.D. ; of Assam, after his successful conquest of Kamata kingdom, deputed one Chankham Ghar Sandikai as his envoy to instal Kamateswar king of Kamata ; , on the throne of Koch Behar and ordered him to proceed to the Jagannatha Thakur Puri ; for worship and constructing a tank for the deity. It is recorded that on behalf of the king, the pilgrims offered to the deity Jagannatha, a gem, which the pilgrims said to have collected from a cobra at Suryapahar Surya hill ; in modern Goalpara district of Assam. The chornicle further mentions that Suhungmung had provided two hundred gold coins to the party, of which, forty were paid as bonus to the labourers engaged in excavating the tank, sixty to the Brahmins, sixty gold coins to the deity Jagannatha and remaining forty to the king of Orissa, the superintendent of the temple. In this connection, the text throws some light on the management system of the Jagannath temple at Puri and states that both the king and rivastigmine. Oxcarbazepine is a promising agent for acute mania in adults Hummel et al., 2001; Nassir Ghaemi et al., 2002 ; . Again, no child data are available. It should be noted that this agent does not appear to be interchangeable with carbamazepine, regarding clinical effectiveness and tolerability, so further randomized controlled trials are recommended. Aripiprazole is likewise promising for treating acute mania in adults Keck et al., 2003 ; , but there are no data on such use in children and adolescents. Initial experience with aripiprazole indicates that dosing strategies for youths may differ from those for adults Findling et al., 2003a ; . Randomized, controlled trials with this agent in pediatric BPD may also be warranted. Omega-3 fatty acids OFAs ; have been studied somewhat, but only in adults with BPD Stoll et al., 1999 ; . Although the efficacy and safety of relatively large doses of OFAs in children are unknown, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the use of as much as 3 g day of OFAs in the general population. Methodologically rigorous studies of OFAs in pediatric BPD are needed to determine what role OFAs might have in the treatment of young people. As with any ``natural'' treatment, another potential danger of treating with OFAs may lie in ignoring more effective treatments as the illness worsens. Topiramate has not been shown to have efficacy in adults with mania. However, it has been relatively unstudied in pediatric psychiatry. Retrospective chart reviews and open data suggest that it may be useful as adjunctive treatment for some adolescents with BPD DelBello et al., 2002b ; . However, once again, wellcontrolled studies in children are not available and are needed. Newer anticonvulsants, such as levetiracetam, zonisamide, and tiagabine, are completely unstudied in pediatric BPD. Furthermore, there are few data to support their use in adult mania. Therefore, treatment with these agents in children and adolescents with BPD is not currently recommended. The first-line pharmacological treatment for more severe manic or mixed episodes is the initiation of either lithium plus an antipsychotic or valproate plus an antipsychotic [I]. For less ill patients, monotherapy with lithium, valproate, or an antipsychotic such as olanzapine may be sufficient [I]. Short-term adjunctive treatment with a benzodiazepine may also be helpful [II]. For mixed episodes, valproate may be preferred over lithium [II]. Atypical antipsychotics are preferred over typical antipsychotics because of their more benign side effect profile [I], with most of the evidence supporting the use of olanzapine or risperidone [II]. Alternatives include carbamazepine or oxcarbazepine in lieu of lithium or valproate [II]. Antidepressants should be tapered and discontinued if possible [I]. If psychosocial therapy approaches are used, they should be combined with pharmacotherapy [I]. For patients who, despite receiving maintenance medication treatment, experience a manic or mixed episode i.e., a "breakthrough" episode ; , the first-line intervention should be to optimize the medication dose [I]. Introduction or resumption of an antipsychotic is sometimes necessary [II]. Severely ill or agitated patients may and granisetron. 5.2 Record the temperature, pulse, respirations, blood pressure and patient's colour.

For patients not yet in treatment for bipolar disorder: For severe mania or mixed episodes, initiate lithium in combination with an antipsychotic or valproate in combination with an antipsychotic. For less ill patients, monotherapy with lithium, valproate, or an antipsychotic such as olanzapine may be sufficient. Short-term adjunctive treatment with a benzodiazepine may also be helpful. For mixed episodes, valproate may be preferred over lithium. Atypical antipsychotics are preferred over typical antipsychotics because of their generally more tolerable side effect profile most current evidence supports the use of olanzapine and risperidone ; . Alternatives include 1 ; carbamazepine or oxcarbazepine in lieu of lithium or valproate and 2 ; ziprasidone or quetiapine in lieu of another antipsychotic. Treatment selection depends on illness severity, associated features such as rapid cycling or psychosis, and, where possible, patient preference. Antidepressants should be tapered and discontinued if possible. Psychosocial therapies and pharmacotherapies should be combined and nevirapine and Buy cheap oxcarbazepine. 19.

Major depressive disorder and ADHD are the two most prevalent psychiatric conditions in the United States. They often co-occur, 1 yet either or both disorders are often misdiagnosed.2 This is especially true in the case of the depressed patient with underlying ADHD: Depression is often diagnosed, while the ADHD is commonly missed, and symptoms fail to resolve. The National Comorbidity Survey Replication estimated that 9.4% of adults with major depression also have comorbid ADHD, and 18.6% of adults with ADHD also have comorbid depression.1 Clinicians should therefore have a high index of suspicion that a presentation of depression may also have a presentation of ADHD lurking beneath the surface, and vice versa. It is important that clinicians accurately recognize the symptoms of both disorders and implement treatment strategies to help control both conditions and primidone.

DETERMINING BEST TREATMENT REGIMEN Teaching patients to observe and accurately report seizures can be valuable in diagnosing seizures. The patient's husband is now describing typical complex partial seizures, which are no longer secondarily generalizing. However, her epilepsy is worsening, and this is not unusual with mesial temporal epilepsy. Some physicians would attempt monotherapy with another drug, but others would add a second AED. However, adding a second AED risks drug interactions. As shown in Table 4, AEDs have been classified according to teratogenic potential. Oxcarbazepine was chosen because it is a chemical relative of carbamazepine, which is very effective for complex partial seizures, but carbamazepine is a proven human teratogenic agent category D ; whereas oxcarbazepine is a cate.

Delusions of sexual infidelity are less common but are quite dramatic when they occur. Patients with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias not only experience delusions, hallucinations, and agitation, but also exhibit sleep problems, depressive symptoms, anxiety, restlessness, non-purposeful behavior, and apathy.1, 2 Many of these symptoms can be managed with nonpharmacologic interventions, such as reassurance, redirection, and recreational and musical activities.
Initial therapy involves anti-seizure medications to raise the threshold for stimulation of the trigeminal system. Carbamazepine Tegretol ; and oxcarbazepine Trileptal ; have been proven to be the most effective drugs for the treatment of TN. Oxcarbazepine is currently preferred due to a more favorable toxicity and side effect profile, but lacks the long-term proof that it will continue to work as well as carbamazepine. Other medications often tried include Dilantin, Neurontin, and Baclofen, among many others. Approximately 95% of TN patients will initially respond to anti-seizure medicines. Unfortunately, some are intolerant of side effects, some have unpredictable drug reactions, and the remainder tend to gradually become resistant to higher and higher doses as the syndrome progresses. Approximately 56% of patients will fail carbamazepine therapy for one of these reasons over a period of 16 years. Despite these observations, it remains a sad truth that most TN patients have undergone several dental procedures over a period of several years before the correct diagnosis is made. The average TN patient has suffered with the syndrome for greater than 5 years and has seen 2-4 neurologists before they are finally referred to a neurosurgeon. In experienced hands, surgical alleviation of blood vessel compression of the trigeminal nerve leads to initial cure with no pain and no medications in approximately 80% of patients. This success remains durable at 70% of patients for up to 20 years, which is the longest period observed so far. Other important palliative treatment options include procedures that selectively and partially damage parts of the nerve root. These include heat percutaneous radiofrequency lesion ; , chemicals percutaneous glycerol rhizotomy ; , mechanical crush percutaneous balloon compression ; , or highly concentrated radiation Gamma Knife Stereotactic Radiosurgery - GKSR ; . Palliative means that these methods provide relief of symptoms without curing the syndrome, since they do not address the syndrome cause. In essence, they are trading the risk of facial numbness and, more rarely, nerve damage pain, for relief of the pain syndrome. The definition of success is the most critical factor in comparing procedure results. Patients can often be confused by reports where success is defined less strictly than being pain-free with or without the need for medications. All four palliative procedures are initially effeccontinued page 3. Vitamin K1, 10 mg per day, should be initiated late in the third trimester to prevent neonatal hemorrhage. We usually prescribe it during the final month of gestation. Pregnant women taking valproate and or carbamazepine should have a level II ultrasonogram 16 to18 weeks of gestation to exclude neural tube defects. Breast-feeding is generally safe in term infants as they have been exposed to the AED for 9 months and have induced their hepatic microsomal enzyme systems. However breast feeding should be done cautiously by women receiving phenobarbital or primidone due to the risk of infant sedation. The known milk plasma concentration ratios of AEDs are listed in Table 6. A number of new AEDs have been marketed in the last two years. Gabapentin, felbamate, lamotrigine, levetiracetam, oxcarbazepine, tiagabine, topiramate and zonisamide are all available in the United States. The numbers of reported exposed pregnancies with these drugs is very low, not large enough for one to determine if there is an increased risk of adverse outcome with fetal exposure to these compounds. We know that lamotrigine concentrations decline during pregnancy and expect that this is also true for the other new AEDs, Tomson et al. 1997 ; . This is what we know to date. Lamotrigine: There have been 623 pregnancies reported in women taking lamotrigine. The outcome is known in 389. There have been 335 live births, 18 spontaneous abortions, 2 therapeutic abortions, and 15 congenital malformations. There is a significant difference in malformation rates when lamotrigine is used in monotherapy 1.8% and polytherapy 10%. Oxcarbazepine: In the first 12 reported cases of pregnancy with oxcarbazepine there have been 9 live births and 3 spontaneous abortions Friis et al. 1993 ; . In a prospective study of eleven pregnancies one child with spina bifida exposed to oxcarbazepine in polytherapy was reported. The manufacturer has been notified of 5 cases of fetal malformations in the post marketing period. One was a cardiac defect. There were 3 cleft palates and one facial dysmorphism. Three of the 5 were exposed to AED polytherapy. The drug has been available in Europe for 10 years, but an accurate denominator is not available thus we are unable to calculate rates. Topiramate: We have no information of the number of pregnancies with topiramate exposure. There is one case report of a child exposed to topiramte monotherapy who developed growth deficiency, hirsutism, a third fontanelle, and upturned nasal tip, and distal digital hypoplasia. Zonisamide: There have bee 26 reported pregnancies with zonisamide exposure. Two of the 26 7.7% ; had congenital malformations. One child was also exposed to phyenytoin and the other to both phenytoin and valproic acid.
