Hypnotic ,Antiepileptic and Antiparkinsonian drugs
The document discusses various hypnotic, antiepileptic, and antiparkinsonian drugs. It describes the mechanism of action, clinical uses, and side effects of benzodiazepines, barbiturates, carbamazepine, diphenin, valproate sodium, and lamotrigine as hypnotic or antiepileptic drugs. It also classifies different types of epilepsy and lists first and second drug choices for seizure types.
