Re: seizures

Epilepsy is a recurrent seizure disorder caused by abnormal electrical discharges from brain cells, often in the cerebral cortex. It is not a distinct disease, it is a group of disorders for which recurrent seizures are the main symptom. Different forms of epilepsy are either secondary to a particular brain abnormality or neurological disorder, or are said to be "idiopathic," without any clear cause.

Normally, nerve transmission in the brain occurs in an orderly way, allowing a smooth flow of electrical activity. A seizure occurs when these neurons generate uncoordinated electrical discharges that spread throughout the brain. This can occur with both normal and abnormal nerve cells.

Treatment

The medications used to treat patients with epilepsy are called anticonvulsants. Many of these drugs are available and each has a different mechanism of action, but all serve to reduce the frequency of epileptic seizures. These medications can be given for long periods of time.

Treatment options are evaluated initially based on seizure subtype, as certain anticonvulsants may be indicated for treating some forms of epilepsy and contraindicated for others. When making decisions about treatment with a particular agent, the physician should always take into account the patient's entire medical and medication histories, age and gender, and side-effect profile. It is important to evaluate the risks and benefits of treatment for each individual. That said, some general principles apply to treatment.

Monotherapy, treatment with a single agent, is the goal. Seizures can be controlled with one agent in approximately 75% of patients. Management becomes complicated when patients are given medications in combinations. This also risks increasing the number and frequency of side effects, making it less likely that patients will take their medication appropriately.

For medications to work effectively, a relatively constant level of medication must be maintained in the body. This is accomplished by taking medication regularly as directed, without missing doses. The consequences of missed doses may be a single seizure, more devastating multiple seizures, or status epilepticus.

Divided doses may be preferable with some medications, ensuring a more constant level of medication in the bloodstream. Appropriate dosing levels depend on many factors, including the patient's body weight, concomitant medications, and reaction to treatment.

Anticonvulsants can reduce the risk of further seizure activity. People who have had more than one seizure should probably be treated with anticonvulsants.
