Phenobarbital?

[3LilFightersmom]

My son's liver enzymes are out of whack, and after max does of ursodiol 3xs a day and with the results of the latest ultrasound, the dr just prescribed Phenobarbital. I googled it, and it it's coming up as an anti seizure medication??? Is anyone using this for elevated liver enzymes/ liver disease?

I too am used to seeing this drug used for seizure control...however, I did find an article that described it's use for some types of liver disease with mixed results: http://www.neonatologyresearch.com/?page_id=263

Hope it helps....otherwise, I didn't see much on pheno for the treatment of liver disease

My son was on it for a while after birth because of elevated liver enzymes.
