Epilepsy Drugs

About Epilepsy Drugs

Epilepsy Drugs is a fast, evidence-based antiseizure medication reference built for doctors, pharmacists, nurses and medical students. Every drug, dose, interaction and decision is one tap away — designed for the ward round, the on-call shift and exam revision.
WHAT'S INSIDE

30+ antiseizure medications — organised by mechanism (sodium-channel blockers, GABAergic and broad-spectrum agents, SV2A drugs, and the newest agents including cenobamate, perampanel, brivaracetam and syndrome-specific therapies).
Clear drug cards — mechanism of action, UK (BNF/NICE) doses and titration, key adverse effects and practical prescribing notes for every agent.
Comparative pharmacokinetics — half-life, metabolism, protein binding and enzyme effects across 25 agents in one reference.
Seizure-type selector — choose the predominant seizure type and childbearing status to see first-line, adjunctive and contraindicated options at a glance.
7 bedside calculators:

– Status epilepticus dosing (weight-based benzodiazepine + 2nd/3rd-line)

– Phenytoin albumin correction (Sheiner-Tozer)

– Phenytoin / fosphenytoin loading dose

– Lamotrigine titration scheduler (mono / + valproate / + inducer)

– Carbamazepine to oxcarbazepine conversion

– Creatinine clearance (Cockcroft-Gault)
Special situations — pregnancy and the MHRA valproate Pregnancy Prevention Programme, drug interactions and rational combinations, monitoring and safety, plus a structured approach for when the first drug fails.
Status epilepticus ladder — the timed, weight-based treatment sequence, free for every user.

BUILT ON TRUSTED SOURCES

Content is grounded in NICE NG217, the BNF, MHRA safety guidance and the 2025 Continuum review of antiseizure medications by Abou-Khalil (© American Academy of Neurology), with tappable references throughout.
