Epilepsy is a common chronic neurological disease, that is characterized by recurrent unprovoked seizures. About 50 million people worldwide have epilepsy. Epilepsy is usually controlled, but not cured, with medication. This medicines are called antiepileptic drugs or anticonvulsants.

The goal of an anticonvulsant is to suppress the rapid and excessive firing of neurons that start a seizure, to prevent the spread of the seizure.

Anticonvulsant medication treatment is lifelong and can have major effects on quality of life. The choice among anticonvulsants and their effectiveness differs by epilepsy syndrome.
