seizure medications

Seizure medications, also called antiepileptic drugs, help control abnormal electrical activity in the brain that causes seizures. They work by stabilizing nerve cell activity, making it less likely for sudden, uncontrolled bursts of signals to occur. These medications are tailored to each individual's type of seizures and overall health, and they often need to be taken regularly to be effective. While they can significantly reduce seizure frequency and severity, they may also have side effects, so healthcare providers carefully monitor and adjust doses to find the safest, most effective treatment plan.
