Diuretics in therapy of epilepsy; their use for the potentiation of anticonvulsant drugs.

Animal experiments having indicated a nearly twofold increase in anticonvulsant protection with the use of diuretics which increase blood-brain barrier permeability, the principle was applied to treatment of humans with epilepsy. The addition of diuretics to anticonvulsant medication permitted a decrease of previously toxic dosages in ten epileptics, followed for six months, without lessening (and in some cases improving) the control of seizures. In three cases excessive diuresis and gastric distress necessitated discontinuance or decrease in dosage of the diuretic used.
