Antiepileptic Drugs (AEDs)

Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are medications used to prevent or reduce seizures caused by epilepsy or other neurological conditions. They work by stabilizing nerve activity in the brain, either by calming overexcited nerve signals or enhancing nerve cell stability. Different AEDs target various mechanisms, such as blocking certain channels or increasing inhibitory signals. While effectively controlling seizures for many, they may have side effects and often require personalized dosing. Overall, AEDs are essential tools in managing epilepsy, helping individuals lead safer and more stable lives.
