Anti-Epileptic Drugs (AEDs)

Anti-Epileptic Drugs (AEDs) are medications used to prevent or reduce the frequency of seizures in people with epilepsy. Seizures occur when abnormal electrical activity in the brain disrupts normal function. AEDs work by stabilizing this electrical activity, either by calming overly active neurons or strengthening weakened ones. There are different types of AEDs, tailored to individual needs, and they help improve quality of life by controlling seizures. While they are generally effective, they may also have side effects, so medical supervision is important to find the right medication and dosage.
