Convulsions caused by pentetrazol OR pentetrazol convulsive therapy (see context)

Pentetrazol is an obsolete cardiac stimulant drug causing convulsions in high doses. It's been withdrawn from the market for quite some time now. It was also used in psychiatry for convulsive therapy, but in this capacity it was withdrawn even earlier.

In any event, the right word here is "convulsions", not "seizures".

convulsions, not seizures - the two terms are not interchangeable!
