How to treat epilepsy with rational drug use

First: medication is indeed the main method for the treatment of epilepsy, patients with epilepsy should be timely diagnosed and treated as soon as possible. The earlier the treatment, the smaller the brain injury, the less the recurrence and the better the prognosis. It is necessary to use drugs correctly and rationally, adjust the dosage in time, pay attention to individual treatment, the course of treatment should be long, the process of drug withdrawal should be slow, and the regular medication should be adhered to. If necessary, the efficacy evaluation and blood concentration monitoring of the drugs used should be carried out. Do not throw drugs indiscriminately and do not use drugs in a standardized way.

Second: so far, the best way to treat epilepsy is drug therapy, which can be used for a long time under the guidance of specialists according to the type of seizures. The commonly used drugs are sodium valproate, carbamazepine, topiramate, phenobarbital, clonazepam, lamotrigine, etc. If the therapeutic effect is not good, stereotactic surgery, nerve pathway blocking surgery, subpleural fiber transection, gamma knife surgery and other surgical methods can be used.
