Medication varies by seizure type.
Epilepsy is a clinical syndrome caused by highly synchronized abnormal discharges of neurons in the brain due to multiple causes. Epilepsy treatment is based on medication, and commonly used drugs include sodium valproate, lamotrigine, levetiracetam, ethosuximide, phenytoin sodium, carbamazepine, and so on.
Different types of epileptic seizures, the use of different drugs, such as children’s partial seizures, preferred oxcarbazepine; adult partial seizures, preferred carbamazepine; disoriented seizures, preferred ethosuximide, lamotrigine, sodium valproate and so on. Some idiopathic epilepsy develops at a certain age and can be cured on its own with age, such as benign childhood epilepsy with central-temporal spikes.
For generalized tonic-clonic seizures and complex partial seizures, sodium valproate, carbamazepine, etc.; for persistent status epilepticus, diazepam injection, sodium valproate injection, etc. can be used.
Epilepsy patients should be under the guidance of physicians, combined with their own conditions to choose the appropriate drugs for treatment, during the treatment period to follow the doctor’s instructions, prohibit their own increase or decrease of drugs.
