[The use of alfatesine in the treatment of epilepsy (author's transl)]. 1977

C Munari, and S Modesto, and G Matteuzzi, and L Pacifico

7 patients (aged 15 months-72 years) were treated by intravenous infusion of alfatesine in varying dose depending on age and body weight. Treatment was effective in 6 of the 7 patients, 4 of whom had previously derived no benefit from standard treatment with benzodiazepines. Intravenous injection in 2 cases only increased the interval between seizures from 3-12 minutes to 25-40 minutes. No major side-effects were observed.
