Antiepileptics are medications used to manage and prevent seizures in individuals with epilepsy. They work by stabilizing electrical activity in the brain, helping to reduce the frequency and severity of seizures. Common types of antiepileptics include phenytoin, carbamazepine, and valproate. These medications can be prescribed alone or in combination, depending on the patient's specific condition. While antiepileptics are effective for many, they may have side effects, such as dizziness or fatigue. Regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is essential to ensure the right dosage and to manage any potential adverse effects.
