Commonly used drugs for epilepsy include valproic acid, carbamazepine, levetiracetam, oxcarbazepine, ethosuximide, phenytoin sodium and so on.

For epileptic patients, the choice of drugs is actually not something to consider, because doctors will choose the right drugs according to the type of epileptic seizures of patients. In the choice of drugs, doctors need to consider the type of seizures, the age of patients, the size of side effects, price, gender and other factors to control seizures or minimize the number of seizures. When necessary, we will also choose a combination of drugs to improve the effect.
