The principle of epilepsy drugs

Drug 1: at present, the most commonly used drugs include traditional antiepileptic drugs such as carbamazepine, sodium valproate, and new antiepileptic drugs such as lamotrigine, topiramate, and oxcarbamate. These antiepileptic drugs are safer than phenytoin sodium, phenobarbital and other old drugs with less side effects, and 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.
