Abstract
Nowadays, the majority of seizure patients have lost confidence in themselves and are worried about their self-image, so they attempt to conceal their illness from others. Once a decision to treat epilepsy has been made, it is necessary to have a thorough knowledge of the choice of drug, toxic effects, mode of action with each antiepileptic drug. However, by determining the serum concentration and manipulating it within the therapeutic range it should be possible to find a regimen that adequately controls seizures without introducing unnecessary toxic effects. Since valproic acid is also a first-line treatment for epilepsy, it is now the most effective medication used. Over time, these medications are taken regularly.
