Does epileptic small seizure need to take medicine?
Drug 1: small seizures need to take medicine. At present, the most commonly used drugs include traditional antiepileptic drugs such as carbamazepine and sodium valproate. New antiepileptic drugs such as lamotrigine, topiramate and oxcarbamate have better safety and less side effects than old drugs such as phenytoin sodium and phenobarbital. They are ideal choices for patients with epilepsy.
Drug 2: epilepsy drug treatment advocates single drug treatment, let the doctor according to the patient's condition and examination results to suit the medicine, see the specific condition of patients with epilepsy suitable for what kind of drug, what kind of drug treatment effect of epilepsy patients can achieve the best.
Drug 3: starting from a small dose, if a single drug is ineffective, we can consider adding or changing another antiepileptic drug. We must not mix a variety of antiepileptic drugs together, which may lead to drug resistance of epilepsy and increase the occurrence of side effects. If it is really believed that one drug is ineffective or has excessive side effects on the patient, it should be replaced gradually when another drug is needed.
matters needing attention

Pay attention to epilepsy patients can not be frightened. In fact, the attack of this disease is closely related to women's emotions. Once the epileptic is frightened, it will start to release chaotic abnormal brain waves. So it's easy to lead to seizures.
