Clonazepam An anticonvulsant.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Anticonvulsant
A medication used to control (prevent) seizures (convulsions) or stop an ongoing series of seizures. There are a large number of anticonvulsant drugs today including, but not limited to: phenobarbital, phenytoin (Dilantin), carbamazepine, ethosuximide (Zarontin), clonazepam (Klonopin), diazepam (Valium), lorazepam (Ativan), and midazolam (Versed). Anticonvulsant drugs taken during pregnancy put the baby at risk of major birth defects -- growth retardation, microcephaly (a small head) and deformities of the face and fingers -- a condition known as anticonvulsant embryopathy.
SIMILAR TERMS--------------------------------------
Clonal deletion
The loss of lymphocytes of a particular specificity due to contact with either "self" or artificially introduced antigen.
Clonal selection theory
The prevalent concept that specificity and diversity of an immune response are the result of selection by antigen of specifically reactive clones from a large repertoire of preformed lymphocytes, each with individual specificities.
Clone
1) An exact genetic replica of a DNA molecule, cell, tissue, organ, or entire plant or animal. 2) An organism that has the same nuclear genome as another organism.
Clone bank
Synonym for Genomic library.
Clones, recombinant
Clones containing recombinant DNA molecules.
Clonic seizure
A seizure in which there are generalized clonic contractions with the entire body jerking, but without a preceding tonic phase.
Clonidine hcl
Clonidine hcl is a prescription or over-the-counter drug which is (or once was) approved in the United States and possibly in other countries. Active ingredient(s): clonidine hydrochloride.
Clonidine hcl and chlorthalidone
Clonidine hcl and chlorthalidone is a prescription or over-the-counter drug which is (or once was) approved in the United States and possibly in other countries. Active ingredient(s): chlorthalidone; clonidine hydrochloride.
Cloning
The production of a clone. (For the purpose of this report, generating an individual animal or person that derives its nuclear genes from a diploid cell taken from an embryo, fetus, or born individual of the same species.)
Cloning, cell
The process of producing a group of cells (clones), all genetically identical, from a single ancestor.
Cloning, DNA
The use of DNA manipulation procedures to produce multiple copies of a single gene or segment of DNA.
Clonote
The first cell produced by the combination of a nucleus and an enucleated ovum that launches the process of somatic-cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). As opposed to the zygote, the first cell resulting from fertilization.
PREVIOUS AND NEXT TERMS--------------------------------------
Cupping of the optic disc
A depression of the optic nerve where the optic nerve leaves the eye. In glaucoma, the cup may be enlarged indicating damage to the nerves leading from the eye to the brain.
Cycloplegia
A paralysis of the ciliary muscles following the instillation of eye drops. This produces a loss of accommodation or focusing ability. With the lens relaxed, a better estimate of the refractive error is possible in most cases. Most cycloplegic eye drops also dilate the pupil. Cycloplegia may last from a few hours to several days, depending on certain factors such as skin color – the lighter the longer.
Ciflox
A potent broad spectrum oral antibiotic that, when first introduced, represented a breakthrough in fighting infectious diseases. Ciflox is also known as Cipro. Produced by Bayer.
Cloxazolam
A tranquilizer.
Clotiazepam
A tranquilizer.
Clonazepam
Clomipramine
An antidepressant.
Clofedanol
A medicine with molecular formula C17H 20ClNO.
Clocapramine
An antipsychotic substance.
Chlorpromazine
An antipsychotic drug.
Chlormezanone
