Partial seizures
Partial seizures are also called focal seizures. The initial clinical and EEG changes indicate that neurons in a certain part of the cerebral hemisphere are activated first, followed by synchronous rapid discharges, which quickly spread to the surrounding normal brain areas, producing a series of electrophysiological and neurochemical changes until the neuronal energy is exhausted and the metabolism is reduced, causing the seizure to terminate automatically. Depending on whether the seizure process is accompanied by consciousness disorder, it is divided into simple partial seizures (no consciousness disorder during the seizure) and complex partial seizures (with varying degrees of consciousness disorder).

Indication: Clorazepate dipotassium tablets are indicated for the management of anxiety disorders or for the short-term relief of the symptoms of anxiety. Anxiety or tension associated with the stress of everyday life usually does not require treatment with an anxiolytic. Clorazepate dipotassium tablets are indicated as adjunctive therapy in the management of partial seizures. The effectiveness of clorazepate dipotassium tablets in long-term management of anxiety, that is, more than 4 months, has not been assessed by systematic clinical studies. Long-term studies in epileptic patients, however, have shown continued therapeutic activity. The physician should reassess periodically the usefulness of the drug for the individual patient. Clorazepate dipotassium tablets are indicated for the symptomatic relief of acute alcohol withdrawal.
