Abstract

Continuous intravenous chlormethiazole is an effective anticonvulsant for status epilepticus, but because of the complications mentioned should be used carefully, preferably for short periods only. We thank the scientific and technical branch of the DHSS and the Government Chemist for their interest and chemical analysis, and the manufacturers of Heminevrin (Astra Chemicals), for their analysis and pyrogen tests.
