Patients with epilepsy need long-term regular oral antiepileptic drugs to control and prevent seizures. The choice of medication for epilepsy patients needs to be based on the type of seizure, age, liver and kidney function, etc. A professional neurologist is needed to see the patient, and it is best to visit the neurology department of a regular hospital. Any drug has side effects, and anti-epileptic drugs are no exception. However, some new anti-epileptic drugs listed in recent years have significantly fewer side effects than the classic first-generation anti-epileptic drugs, and their efficacy is no less than that of the first-generation anti-epileptic drugs. They can be chosen according to your condition. However, the side effects do not mean that there are no side effects. During the medication period, it is still necessary to regularly go to the hospital to review the blood routine, liver and kidney function, etc. If the disease is not satisfactorily controlled by regular oral antiepileptic drugs, you need to go to the hospital for blood concentration monitoring to find out whether the dose of oral drugs is up to the standard. If the blood concentration is up to standard, then another antiepileptic drug needs to be added. Patients with epilepsy should have a regular routine, not stay up late, quit smoking and drinking, and not overeat. You should not drive, and you should not go alone to dangerous places to play, such as water sports, climbing mountains, etc. In addition, people with epilepsy need the understanding and support of their families and society, and when epilepsy is well controlled, they can work and live like normal people.
