What is Aggravation of Seizures by Antiseizure Medications about?

Abstract Drugs may sometimes aggravate seizures, defined as an increase in either the frequency or severity of existing seizures, the emergence of new types of seizures, or the occurrence of status epilepticus. Seizure aggravation can occur with virtually all antiseizure medications (ASMs). Pharmacodynamic aggravation of epilepsy usually translates into both increased seizure frequency and increased interictal electroencephalographic changes. A doubling or greater increase in seizure frequency may be considered as evidence for seizure aggravation. The underlying mechanisms for seizure aggravation with ASMs are not fully understood.
