Zipeprol (Zinolta) abuse among American adolescents in Korea: a discussion of the problem, clinical presentation, and treatment.

Abstract
Zipeprol dihydrochloride (Zinolta) is a Korean medication that is abused by American dependent teenagers in Korea. The adolescents usually present for medical care after a seizure. Since this medication is not available in the United States, many physicians are unfamiliar with zipeprol-induced seizures. The extent of the problem, the pharmacology and mechanism of action of zipeprol, the clinical presentation, and suggestions for treatment are discussed. Military physicians should consider zipeprol overdose when a teenager presents with a seizure.
