Seizure Medicines

Seizure medicines, also known as anticonvulsant or antiepileptic drugs, are medications used to manage and prevent seizures in people with epilepsy or other seizure disorders. They work by controlling the electrical activity in the brain that can lead to seizures.
There are many types of seizure medicines, each with different mechanisms of action and side effects. Some common examples include valproic acid, phenytoin, phenobarbital, and carbamazepine.
It is important for people taking seizure medicines to closely follow their doctor's instructions and to continue taking the medication as prescribed, even if they are feeling well. Suddenly stopping seizure medicines can lead to a rebound increase in seizures and other serious withdrawal effects.
