Drug 2: general knowledge of drug treatment of epilepsy 2. Combined use of multiple drugs: for most patients with epilepsy, adherence to single drug treatment is an internationally recognized treatment principle. One patient took 6 kinds of antiepileptic drugs at the same time, the result was dull and the seizure aggravated.
