Most people with seizure disorders, also known as epilepsy, are treated with antiepileptic drugs that are designed to prevent seizures, and over 20 different kinds are available. Because there are so many options available, you may have to work closely with your doctor to find the right drug and dosage that works for you.
Other medicines, such as diazepam or midazolam, are available for emergency use. We have not included emergency medicines on this list. Under the heading Indications in epilepsy, the main use of each medicine is given. This information is taken from the BNF. Sometimes a doctor may prescribe medicines for other seizure types than those listed. You can find information about side-effects of individual epilepsy medicines in the BNF or the Medicine Guides website. Epilepsy medicines are available in a number of different formulations such as tablets, capsules, chewtabs, sugar-free liquid, syrup, dispersible tablets, crushable tablets and sprinkle capsules.
