Epilepsy Treatment Options Medications
For the treatment of seizures, the FDA currently approves several
different types of antiepileptic drugs. At Cleveland Clinic, we
individualize the treatment plan for your child based on the type
of seizure experienced. Our goal is to achieve the best possible
seizure control without adverse side effects from the medication.
For most children, it is possible to stop the seizures altogether
with standard medications.
Children who do not respond to traditional antiepileptic
drugs may be entered into clinical trials of approved or investigational
medications. The Clinic's active role in national clinical trials
ensures that our patients receive the latest medication for epilepsy.
