Antiepileptic Drugs

Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are medications used to prevent or control seizures, which are sudden bursts of electrical activity in the brain. They work by stabilizing electrical activity and preventing excessive firing of neurons. AEDs are prescribed for individuals with epilepsy or other conditions that cause seizures. Their effectiveness can vary, and finding the right medication or combination of medications may require adjustments. While they can significantly improve quality of life, some people may experience side effects. Overall, AEDs play a crucial role in managing seizures and helping individuals lead more stable lives.
