The anticonvulsants, sometimes also called antiepileptics, belong to a diverse group of pharmaceuticals used in prevention of the occurrence of epileptic seizures.
Many typical anticonvulsants work by blocking voltage-sensitive sodium channels in the brain.
The anticonvulsants, sometimes also called antiepileptics, belong to a diverse group of pharmaceuticals used in prevention of the occurrence of epilepticseizures.
The goal of an anticonvulsant is to suppress the rapid and excessive firing of neurons that start a seizure.
Failing this, a good anticonvulsant would prevent the spread of the seizure within the brain and offer protection against possible excitotoxic effects that may result in brain damage.
Anticonvulsantdrugs are medicines used to prevent or treat convulsions (seizures).
Anticonvulsantdrugs act on the brain to reduce the frequency and severity of seizures.
Because anticonvulsantdrugs work on the central nervous system, they may add to the effects of alcohol and other drugs that slow down the central nervous system, such as antihistamines, cold medicine, allergy medicine, sleep aids, other medicine for seizures, tranquilizers, some pain relievers, and muscle relaxants.
