title: [Modification of curarization after acute administration of 2 antiepileptic drugs].
abstract: In rats anaesthetised with sodium pentobarbital the previous administration of a single dose of an anti-epileptic agent (carbamazepine or sodium valproate) significantly increases the curarising action of two short-action curare-like agents--pancuronium bromide and fazadinium bromide. It seems that this potentialisation of curare action might be the result of either a pharmacokinetic interference (competion for plasma protisen receptor sites), or due to a summation of depressor actions at the neuromuscular level, especially through changes in the levels of GABA and/or cAMP.
