Generally speaking, there is no big difference between the diets of epileptic patients and ordinary people, and they should pay attention to not eating too much or drinking too much. In the daytime, pay attention to the following two aspects: the first point: do not take food that makes the body excited. For example, alcohol or alcoholic beverages, after drinking can make people excited, affecting the function of the central nervous system, which can easily lead to abnormal cerebral cortex discharge, and then trigger epileptic seizures. In addition to the above drinks, epileptic patients should also be careful to avoid drinking Coca-Cola, coffee and drinks containing excitatory ingredients. The second point: do not take food that affects the metabolism and absorption of drugs. For example, patients taking phenytoin sodium should avoid monosodium glutamate and chicken essence, which contain monosodium glutamate, and phenytoin sodium promotes the absorption of monosodium glutamate, which may be able to cause fatigue, palpitations, and numbness at the back of the neck. Fruits grapefruit, grapefruit also try to avoid eating during the drug. The above fruit juice contains the inhibition of human CYP3A4 enzyme. And some antiepileptic drugs need CYP3A4 enzyme metabolism, so eating grapefruit, grapefruit during the medication is easy to cause antiepileptic drug blood concentration increase, easy to appear symptoms of poisoning. Such drugs are carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin sodium, sodium valproate, diazepam, clonazepam and so on. In short, the control of epilepsy requires regular application of drugs, but also requires the care of life and living.
