This new edition of Antiseizure Medications: A Clinician's Manual
reflects the advances in the study and treatment of epilepsy in the
past several years. As a practical tool for physicians and other
healthcare providers, this text focuses on the selection and use of
antiseizure medications in a variety of clinical contexts. In the
past decade, many new antiseizure medications (ASMs) have been
introduced, so that there are now approximately 30 medications
available to treat epilepsy. The healthcare provider therefore has
many choices. However, having many alternatives also allows for the
possibility of choosing an inappropriate or a suboptimal agent. The
choice of medication should be guided by knowledge and familiarity
with the ASMs. In this new edition, the authors discuss choosing
drugs when faced with various medical comorbidities; how to
correctly prescribe, titrate, and taper drugs; how to monitor drug
efficacy and side effects; how to diagnose and manage toxicity;
interactions with other drugs; and other relevant issues. With
updated references, terminology, materials, and drugs, this third
edition meets the needs of clinicians who must treat their patients
living with epilepsy.
