The six broad-spectrum antiepileptics to know
Broad-spectrum antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) can treat both focal and generalized seizures, and are often used when patients have an undifferentiated seizure disorder. Alphabetically, they are:
- Clonazepam
- Lamotrigine
- Levetiracetam
- Topiramate
- Valproic acid
- Zonisamide
I even made up a mnemonic: Cloned Lambs Love To Visit Zoos.
Also, rufinamide. Personally, never heard of it.
