dc.description.abstract | Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder that leads to uncontrollable recurrent seizures. This
might occur either due to genetic or different environmental factors. Controlling epileptic
seizures is of great challenge and so different antiepileptic drugs of generations first, second,
third and so on were discovered throughout past few decades and are still under constant
research. Drugs such as phenytoin, carbamazepine, ganaxolone, cannabidiol, lamotrigine,
vigabatrin and many more were introduced under different generations. These drugs have
different mechanisms of action such as enhancement of GABA action, inhibition of sodium
channel and inhibition of calcium channel etc. Some of the newer AEDs are more emphasized
and are under continuous research due to having fewer adverse effects that effectively control
seizures accompanied by epilepsy. | en_US |
