개요
페노바르비탈(Phenobarbital)은 장기 작용 바르비투르산계 약물로, 수의학에서 발작 장애 관리의 초석 역할을 합니다.
- 주요 용도: 고양이의 특발성 간질 치료에 있어 최우선 선택약으로 널리 간주되며, 개와 말에서도 가장 흔하고 효과적인 1차 또는 보조 항경련제 중 하나입니다.
- 임상적 장점: 유리한 약동학적 프로파일, 상대적인 안전성, 입증된 효능 및 저렴한 비용을 제공합니다. 최면 이하의 용량에서도 발작을 효과적으로 조절할 수 있습니다.
- 간 자가유도: 페노바르비탈의 독특한 약리학적 특징은 간의 사이토크롬 P450 효소를 유도하는 능력입니다. 시간이 지남에 따라 환자의 간은 약물을 더 효율적으로 대사하게 되며, 이로 인해 치료 혈청 농도를 유지하기 위해 종종 용량 증가가 필요합니다.
- 기타 용도: 발작 조절 외에도 경구용 진정제(예: 고양이의 여행 불안 또는 과도한 발성)로 간혹 사용되며, 벤조디아제핀으로 초기 조절을 한 후의 간질 중첩증 관리에도 사용됩니다.
작용 기전
Phenobarbital exerts its antiseizure and sedative effects through multiple mechanisms within the central nervous system:
- GABA-A Receptor Modulation: Phenobarbital binds to the allosteric barbiturate site on the GABA-A receptor. Unlike benzodiazepines (which increase the frequency of chloride channel opening), phenobarbital increases the duration of chloride channel opening → enhanced influx of chloride ions → hyperpolarization of the postsynaptic neuronal membrane → increased seizure threshold and decreased spread of seizure activity.
- Glutamate Inhibition: It inhibits the release of excitatory neurotransmitters, specifically glutamate, thereby dampening CNS excitability.
- Calcium Channel Blockade: At high (anesthetic) doses, it inhibits the uptake of calcium at nerve endings, further reducing neurotransmitter release.
- Other Neurotransmitters: It has also been shown to inhibit the release of acetylcholine and norepinephrine.
안전성·주의사항
금기사항
- Known hypersensitivity to barbiturates
- Severe liver disease
- Nephritis (large doses)
- Severe respiratory depression
- Hepatic dysfunction
- Severe renal impairment
부작용
- Dogs: Transient anxiety, agitation, or lethargy upon initiation
- Dogs: Polydipsia (PD), polyuria (PU), and polyphagia (PP)
- Dogs: Sedation and ataxia (especially at higher serum levels)
- Dogs: Elevated liver enzymes (ALT, ALP) - common and not always indicative of failure
- Dogs: Hepatotoxicity (uncommon, usually at levels >30-40 mcg/mL)
- Dogs: Rare blood dyscrasias (anemia, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia)
- Dogs: Rare superficial necrolytic dermatitis (SND)
- Cats: Ataxia, persistent sedation, lethargy
- Cats: Polyphagia, weight gain, PU/PD
- Cats: Rare immune-mediated reactions and bone marrow hypoplasia
- Cats: Coagulopathies (at very high doses)
- Blood dyscrasias (rare)
주의
Intravenous Administration: Must be given SLOWLY (not more than 60 mg/minute). Too rapid IV administration may cause profound respiratory depression.
Tissue Irritation: Do NOT administer subcutaneously (SC) or perivascularly. The injectable solution is highly alkaline and very irritating, potentially causing significant tissue necrosis.
- Patient Conditions: Use with extreme caution in patients that are hypovolemic, anemic, have borderline hypoadrenal function, or have pre-existing cardiac or respiratory disease.
- Feline Sensitivity: Cats are particularly sensitive to the respiratory depressant effects of barbiturates.
- Hepatic Function: Chronic administration induces hepatic microsomal enzymes. Monitor liver function closely, especially in dogs, as hepatotoxicity can occur at high serum concentrations.
- Endocrine Testing: Can alter thyroid testing (decreased T4, normal T3, normal/increased TSH) and may cause a false positive low-dose dexamethasone suppression test.
약물 상호작용
Increased risk for hepatotoxicity, particularly with large or chronic doses of barbiturates.
Increased risk for hepatotoxicity secondary to carprofen metabolites.
May prolong phenobarbital effects.
Barbiturates may affect phenytoin metabolism, and phenytoin may alter barbiturate levels.
May induce enzymes that increase the metabolism of barbiturates.
Phenobarbital reduces levetiracetam elimination half-life by about 50% in dogs.
Phenobarbital may decrease anticoagulant effects by lowering serum concentrations.
Phenobarbital increases the metabolism and clearance of corticosteroids, potentially reducing their efficacy.
Phenobarbital decreases doxycycline serum concentrations; effect may persist for weeks after discontinuation.
Phenobarbital increases theophylline metabolism, lowering its serum concentrations.
May increase the effects of phenobarbital while phenobarbital may decrease chloramphenicol levels.
Increased hepatic metabolism and clearance of T4
Inhibits phenobarbital metabolism
모니터링
- Anticonvulsant efficacy (seizure frequency and severity)
- Adverse effects (CNS depression, ataxia, PU/PD, weight gain)
- Serum phenobarbital levels (Dogs: 20-35 mcg/mL; Cats: 23-30 mcg/mL). Wait 5-6 half-lives (12-14 days in dogs, 9-10 days in cats) before measuring steady-state levels.
- Routine CBC, liver enzymes (especially ALT and AST), and bilirubin at least every 6 months during chronic therapy.
- Serum phenobarbital concentrations (trough levels)
- Liver enzymes (ALT, ALP, GGT)
- Serum bile acids
- Complete Blood Count (CBC)
- Renal function
약동학
반감기
흡수
Slowly absorbed from the GI tract. Bioavailability is approximately 90% in dogs and practically complete in adult horses. Peak levels occur 4-8 hours after oral dosing in dogs.
분포
Widely distributed throughout the body. Due to lower lipid solubility compared to other barbiturates, it does not distribute as rapidly into the CNS. Protein binding is 40-60%. Volume of distribution: Dogs ~0.75 L/kg, Horses ~0.8 L/kg.
대사
Metabolized in the liver primarily by hydroxylated oxidation to p-hydroxyphenobarbital; sulfate and glucuronide conjugates are also formed. Induces hepatic microsomal enzymes, leading to auto-induction and increased clearance over time.
배설
Approximately 25% is excreted unchanged by the kidneys. Alkalinizing the urine or increasing urine flow increases excretion rates.
과다투여
Clinical Signs of Toxicity:
- Dogs: Ataxia, lethargy, sedation, recumbency, depression, hypothermia, and coma.
- Cats: Ataxia, sedation, and recumbency.
Treatment:
- Decontamination: Removal of ingested product from the gut if recent. Activated charcoal is highly effective and acts as a 'sink' to draw the drug from the vasculature back into the gut, enhancing clearance even if the drug was given parenterally.
- Supportive Care: Provide intensive respiratory and cardiovascular support.
- Enhanced Elimination: Forced alkaline diuresis can substantially augment elimination in patients with normal renal function. Peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis may be helpful in severe intoxications or anuric patients.

보호자 정보
반려동물 보호자를 위한 중요 안내:
- 일관성이 핵심입니다: 성공적인 간질 치료를 위해서는 매일 같은 시간에 이 약을 투여해야 합니다. 단 한 번의 투여를 놓쳐도 발작이 유발될 수 있습니다.
- 초기 부작용: 약을 처음 시작할 때 반려동물이 "술 취한 선원"처럼 행동할 수 있습니다(비틀거림, 졸음, 또는 비정상적인 배고픔/갈증). 이는 정상적인 현상이며, 몸이 적응함에 따라 보통 처음 1~2주 후에 크게 호전됩니다.
- 갑자기 중단하지 마세요: 수의사와 상의 없이 갑자기 이 약의 투여를 중단하지 마세요. 심각하고 생명을 위협하는 발작을 일으킬 수 있습니다.
- 모니터링: 수의사는 혈중 약물 농도를 확인하고 간 기능을 모니터링하기 위해 주기적으로 채혈을 해야 합니다. 이는 반려동물의 안전과 올바른 용량 확인을 위해 매우 중요합니다.
- 안전한 보관: 이 약은 어린이와 다른 반려동물의 손이 닿지 않는 곳에 엄격히 보관하세요. 어린이 보호용 포장에 보관하십시오.
- 수의사에게 연락해야 할 때: 반려동물의 발작이 조절되지 않거나, 극도로 무기력해지거나, 눈/잇몸이 노랗게 변하는(황달) 증상 또는 심한 쇠약 등의 징후를 발견하면 즉시 수의사에게 연락하십시오.
