Appropriate use of medications for seizures

PREVIEW Treatment of choice for a patient with a seizure disorder is multifactorial and should be determined according to not only the type of seizure but also the patient's particular needs. In this article, Drs Beydoun and Passaro review antiepileptic drug (AED) treatment options for patients with newly diagnosed epilepsy, discussing the dosage and pharmacokinetics of the established and new-generation anticonvulsants. The authors also include information on women and epilepsy and present guidelines for discontinuation of AED therapy.
