Abstract:
During the last two years oral contraceptives containing gestodene were suspected to cause cerebrovascular disorders. 52 cases with adverse neurological side effects were registered up to October 31, 1990. Anonymous protocols received from the Companies Schering AG and Wyeth Pharma were analyzed from a clinical point of view. There are different arterial and venous, thrombotic and embolic disorders caused by different pathogenetic principles. Only one third of the cases was documented by neuro-imaging to render possible actual diagnostic reliability. Suspected cases represent a great number of different cerebrovascular disorders usually observed in neurological and neurosurgical series, concerning both men and women, OC-users and non users.

Antiepileptic Drugs: Calcium Channel Blockers
Calcium channel blockers exert their antiepileptic effects by targeting T-type calcium channels, which are integral to transmitting nerve signals in the central nervous system. These channels allow the passage of calcium ions, which are vital for neuronal communication. By inhibiting T-type calcium channels, calcium channel blockers effectively reduce the release of neurotransmitters and...
