What is Antiseizure Medications in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis about?

Abstract The International League Against Epilepsy clinical definition of epilepsy allows a diagnosis of epilepsy after a single unprovoked seizure if the 10-year recurrence risk exceeds 60%. Because for most forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) the risk is the same as for the general population, a single seizure may not require long-term antiseizure medication (ASM) treatment. Patients with MS who experience seizures that cannot be explained by any cause other than MS have focal epilepsy, and these patients often responded well to ASM monotherapy. The adverse-effect profile of ASMs and drug interactions with MS disease-modifying agents are significant determining factors in the selection of an appropriate ASM to treat seizure(s) in a patient with MS.
