Abstract
The invention relates to a drug system for the treatment and alleviation of the symptoms of epilepsy; as anticonvulsant agent, and for the prevention or alleviation of brain damage due to strokes. The drug system comprises as active ingredient a compound such as MK-801, phencyclidine or as thienyl-cyclohexyl-piperidine (TCP), which is administered in such a manner that it encounters and binds to the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor channels. This is in the presence of glutamate or glycine, or similarly acting amino-acid, which is either present in the patient, or which can be administered separately. The effective drug can be effectively locked in the receptor channels by means of a glutamate antagonist, such as AP-5.
