Several medical regimens are used in order to control it. In this study, we intended to evaluate the clinical efficacy and tolerability of sodium valproate and intravenous phenytoin (IV PHT) in the control of SE.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>One hundred and ten consecutive patients suffering from benzodiazepine refractory SE who were referred to the emergency ward from March 2014 to March 2015 were randomly divided into two groups. The first group received intravenous sodium valproate, 30\u00a0mg\/kg as loading dose and then 4\u20138\u00a0mg\/kg every 8\u00a0hr as maintenance regimen. The second group received IV PHT 20\u00a0mg\/kg as loading dose and then 1.5\u00a0mg\/kg for 8\u00a0hr as maintenance therapy. All patients were monitored for vital signs every 2\u00a0hr up to 12\u00a0hr. The patients were also followed up for 7\u00a0days regarding drug response and adverse effects.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The administration of sodium valproate and phenytoin respectively resulted in seizure control in 43 (78.18%) and 39 (70.90%) of the patients within 7\u00a0days of drug administration (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.428). Seven\u2010day mortality rate was similar in both groups (12.73% vs. 12.73%; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.612).
