Epilepsy is often treated with drugs

summary

My child is more than 6 years old this year. When he has a fever, he has the symptoms of convulsion. After going to the hospital to reduce the fever, he is much better, but occasionally he has convulsions. I didn't expect that he developed into epilepsy. After treatment for a period of time, he feels much better now. Let's talk about the common medication for epilepsy.

Epilepsy is often treated with drugs

Drug 1: at present, the most commonly used drugs include traditional antiepileptic drugs such as carbamazepine, sodium valproate, and new antiepileptic drugs such as lamotrigine, topiramate, and oxcarbamate. These antiepileptic drugs are safer than phenytoin sodium, phenobarbital and other old drugs with less side effects, and are ideal choices for patients with epilepsy.

Drug 2: epilepsy drug treatment advocates single drug treatment, let the doctor according to the patient's condition and examination results to suit the medicine, see the specific condition of patients with epilepsy suitable for what kind of drug, what kind of drug treatment effect of epilepsy patients can achieve the best.

Drug 3: starting from a small dose, if a single drug is ineffective, we can consider adding or changing another antiepileptic drug. We must not mix a variety of antiepileptic drugs together, which may lead to drug resistance of epilepsy and increase the occurrence of side effects. If it is really believed that one drug is ineffective or has excessive side effects on the patient, it should be replaced gradually when another drug is needed.

matters needing attention

Epileptic seizures can be controlled by drugs, but it is more difficult for doctors to find effective drug treatment for the sick psychology. Therefore, to treat the psychological problems of patients with epilepsy, in addition to the help of family members and friends, the more important thing is that the patients can correctly understand themselves and make clear their condition; in the process of treatment, they should seriously provide disease information, abide by the doctor's advice, check and take medicine on time, and understand the common sense of epilepsy. In this way, psychological problems can be solved, but also the treatment of epilepsy disease to achieve better results.
