Antiepileptic Drug Treatments

Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are medications used to control seizures in people with epilepsy. They work by stabilizing electrical activity in the brain, helping to prevent the excessive electrical activity that leads to seizures. There are various types of AEDs, each with different mechanisms and side effects. Treatment plans may involve a single drug or a combination, depending on individual needs. While these medications can effectively manage seizures for many, finding the right drug and dosage often requires close monitoring and adjustments by healthcare providers to reduce side effects and enhance quality of life.
