research Anticonvulsant hypocalcaemia.
Long-term use of seizure medications can disrupt calcium metabolism, but this can be treated with vitamin D or UV light and does not affect seizure control.

Research
30-60 / 1000+ results research Side effects of carbamazepine, valproate and clonazepam during long-term treatment of epilepsy
Carbamazepine, valproate, and clonazepam can cause mild to serious side effects during long-term epilepsy treatment.
research Hormones and Absence Epilepsy☆
Stress and hormones like progesterone can affect absence seizures, but their effects change with different life stages.
research A comparison of the effects of lamotrigine and levetiracetamand lamotrigine and valproate sodium in patients with epilepsy
Levetiracetam and valproate sodium both reduce seizures when added to lamotrigine, but levetiracetam has fewer side effects.
research Behavioral effects and somnolence due to levetiracetam versus oxcarbazepine — a retrospective comparison study of North Indian patients with refractory epilepsy
Levetiracetam often causes behavioral issues, while oxcarbazepine is more likely to cause sleepiness in epilepsy patients.
research Levetiracetam in the Treatment of Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsies
Levetiracetam is widely used and generally well-tolerated for treating idiopathic generalized epilepsies, with tiredness as the main side effect.
research Neurosteroids on the Epilepsy Chessboard—Keeping Seizures in Check
Ketogenic diet, neurosteroids, and HMGB1-TLR4 signaling pathway are potential targets for new epilepsy treatments.
research Seizure control and side-effect profile after switching adult epileptic patients from standard to extended-release divalproex sodium
Switching to extended-release divalproex sodium improved patient-reported tremor but did not change seizure frequency or most side effects.
research Long-term control of epileptic drop attacks with the combination of valproate, lamotrigine, and a benzodiazepine: A ‘proof of concept,’ open label study
The drug combination significantly reduced epileptic drop attacks in patients.
research INTEGRAL MANAGEMENT OF THE PATIENT WITH EPILEPSY
Effective epilepsy management involves accurate diagnosis, understanding seizure types, identifying causes, and choosing the right treatment.
research How Does Altered Metabolism Lead to Seizure Control? Partially Filling the Knowledge Gap
Altered metabolism can help control seizures by changing brain signaling and energy use, suggesting new treatments for epilepsy.
research A Mouse Kindling Model of Perimenstrual Catamenial Epilepsy
Neurosteroids help reduce seizures, but their withdrawal increases seizure activity.
research The anticonvulsant effects of progesterone and its metabolites
5alpha-DHP may be a safe, effective treatment for certain seizures without causing sedation.
research Side effects of sodium valproate during long-term treatment in epilepsy
Long-term sodium valproate treatment for epilepsy generally caused mild and temporary side effects.
research Novel anticonvulsive effects of progesterone in a mouse model of hippocampal electrical kindling
Progesterone can reduce seizures without relying on the GABAA receptor pathway.
research Short-term efficacy and safety of valproate sustained-release formulation in newly diagnosed partial epilepsy VIPe-study. A multicenter observational open-label study.
Valproate sustained-release is effective and generally safe for short-term treatment of new partial epilepsy.

research Role of Neurosteroidogenic Pathways in the Antiseizure Activity of Midazolam in the 6‐Hz and Kindling Models of Epilepsy
Midazolam's antiseizure effects are mainly due to synaptic GABA-A receptors, not neurosteroids or extrasynaptic receptors.
research Long-Term Treatment with Sodium Valproate
Combining sodium valproate with other epilepsy drugs increases ammonia levels and side effects.
research Sodium valproate
Sodium valproate is not recommended as a first-line treatment for neuropathy but may be used in resistant cases.
