Antiepileptic Medications

Antiepileptic medications are drugs used to manage epilepsy, a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures. These medications work by stabilizing electrical activity in the brain, reducing the frequency and intensity of seizures. There are various types of antiepileptic drugs, each targeting different mechanisms in the brain, and they may be prescribed alone or in combination. While they can be highly effective, they may also have side effects. It's important for individuals on these medications to work closely with their healthcare provider to find the right treatment plan and dosage for their specific needs.
