antiseizure drugs

Antiseizure drugs, also known as anticonvulsants, are medications used to prevent or reduce the frequency and severity of seizures in people with epilepsy or other neurological conditions. They work by stabilizing nerve activity in the brain, either by calming overexcited neurons or restoring normal electrical signals. Different drugs target various mechanisms and pathways, and the choice depends on the type of seizures and individual needs. These medications can help people lead more stable lives, but they sometimes have side effects and require careful medical supervision to find the right balance for each person.
