No differences in treatment response Table 2 ; or secondary outcome measures Table 3 ; were found for any paired comparison with the exception of lower exit SUMD scores for lamotrigine compared with inositol and a higher exit Global Assessment of Functioning score for lamotrigine compared with risperidone. In the risperidone versus inositol comparison, patients assigned to inositol remained in the randomized phase of the study significantly longer. No differences were seen in the rate of adverse events or serious adverse events for any treatment comparison.

Novartis has a market share of 14 percent in the German epilepsy drugs market. Novartis has two products on the market, Tegretol carbamazepine ; and Trileptal oxcarbazepine ; . Novartis used to be the market leader but has been losing market share due to severe generic competition that has forced Novartis to reduce the price of the Tegretol carbamazepine ; range. There are approximately 17 companies involved in the carbamazepine market. The German epilepsy market has more generic competition than elsewhere in Europe. However, it is projected that Novartis will recoup some of the market share it has lost from the revenues generated from its NAED Trileptal oxcarbazepine ; . Trileptal oxcarbazepine ; is related to carbamazepine, but it has the advantage that 80 percent of the drug is renally excreted, which means that it has lower side effects than its sister product Tegretol carbamazepine ; . Trileptal oxcarbazepine ; is likely to contribute more to the epilepsy drug market in terms of revenues because it is priced in line with the other NAEDs and has received monotherapy approval even though it was only launched in September 2000. German GPs and neurologists are also conservative in the way they treat epilepsy - this is reflected by the number of prescriptions for the standard first line treatments such as carbamazepine and valproic acid, which are significantly higher than for any other AED. This has positive implications for the uptake of Trileptal oxcarbazepine ; - unlike other NAEDs it will be able to skip the process of proving its efficacy and safety profiles because it is chemically related to carbamazepine. Pfizer has a market share of 11percent derived from its products Epanutin phenytoin ; , Neurontin gabapentin ; and Zarontin ethosuximide ; . Epanutin phenytoin ; , although widely prescribed in the United States, is not used as extensively in Europe because it is deemed an old fashioned drug. Zarontin ethosuximide ; is another old drug and is only really used in absence seizures. Neurontin gabapentin ; , a NAED, is responsible for around 9 percent of Pfizer's market share. Similar to other NAEDs, it is more expensive than the old AEDs. Neurontin's share has grown since it was launched in 1995, and this is due to the competitive advantages it possesses such as low incidence of side effects, renal excretion and no records of drug interactions with other AEDs or other drugs, such as contraceptives. This makes the drug highly suitable for patients who are already on multi-drug regimes, such as the elderly and the handicapped. Indeed, it must be mentioned that the incidence of epilepsy is higher in the elderly and epilepsy is three times more common in patients with multiple sclerosis than in the general population. Pfizer also engages in a considerable amount of marketing, and it is forecast its market share will increase in future. One of the main criticisms of Neurontin gabapentin ; is that it is not as effective as some of the other drugs such as Lamictal lamotrigine ; by Glaxo SmithKline and Topamax topiramate ; by Janssen-Cilag. Neurontin gabapentin ; may also experience more competition from UCB's Keppra levetiracetam ; , another novel antiepileptic agent, which is said to be well tolerated and has few interactions with other drugs. However, any market share lost as a result of competition could be offset by the arrival of Pfizer's novel antiepileptic agent pregabalin, which is currently in Phase III US clinical trials and so is expected to arrive on the German market in around 2003 or 2004 and levothyroxine.

Five experiments were conducted using a total of 357 individually caged Hy-Line W36 Leghorn hens [20]. The experimental protocol for Experiment I, 11, and I11 are summarized in Table 1.In Experiment I, 48 laying hens were prefed commercial-type layer diets for a six week period.

A general immunomodulatory effect, attributable to phytosterols7, 8, is the basis of efficacy claims for the South African patent remedy, Moducare, reputed to be derived from Hypoxis hemerocallidea but in fact manufactured from pine wood extracts.

AModels of the tertiary drug structure were built by the Macromodel version 4.5 program Department of Chemistry, Columbia University, 1994 ; . More than 200 conformations were picked, and energy minimization using the Monte Carlo method and MM2 force-field parameters was then exercised. Most of the data have been published before in a more comprehensive chart Kuo et al., 2000 ; . bIn each drug molecule, the carbon or nitrogen atom that the two benzene rings directly connect to is designated as the pivotal atom. The CC or NC bond connecting the pivotal atom and the benzene ring is designated as the stem bond. The angle made by the two stem bonds at the pivotal atom is the stem bond angle. In lamotrigine, the two benzene rings are connected to each other directly, and thus no stem bond or stem bond angle could be defined. cThe distance between the two benzene rings are measured between the centers centercenter ; , the two C1 atoms C1C1 ; , or the two C4 atoms C4C4 ; of the rings. C1 is the carbon atom forming the stem bond with the pivotal atom, or in lamotrigine, it is the atom directly connected to the other benzene ring. C4 is the atom farthest to C1 in the ring. dThe torsion angle defines rotation of the benzene ring. The stem bond is the rotating axis, and the plane formed by the two stem bonds is the reference plane. For lamotrigine, there is a hypothetical reference plane that contains both rings by neglecting ring rotation first. Each ring then rotates with the bond connecting the two rings being the rotating axis. Positive angle means clockwise rotation if one views the ring from the pivotal atom. eThe benzene rings in diclofenac have more flexible torsion angles than the other drugs. There are more than five similarly low-energy conformers with torsion angles distributed between 55.5, 29.2 and 43.2, 53.2 degrees.

In a fixed-dose, randomized, double-blind study by Calabrese et al, 30 lower 50 mg d ; and higher 200 mg d ; dosages of lamotrigine were efficacious on a number of measures in outpatients with bipolar disorder experiencing an episode of major depression Figure 1 ; . Adverse events were similar, except for a higher rate of headache in the lamotrigine groups.
