[A comparative study of the anticonvulsant action of a new table salt substitute].

Murine experiments have demonstrated that excess sodium chloride intake has an aggravating effect on the course of convulsions caused by corazolum, thiosemicarbaside and maximum electric shock rather than strychnine. The new sodium chloride substitute hyposol given to animals ad libitum for a fortnight produces an anticonvulsant effect which is more pronounced in corazolum-induced convulsions and potentiates the anticonvulsant effect of diazepam. The official drug sanasol is antagonistic to strychnine and corazolum, but it displays a proconvulsant activity on a thiosemicarbaside model.
