Approximately one-third of individuals with epilepsy do not achieve seizure control with older, traditional medications. This has driven the development of numerous newer drugs used for management of epilepsy, expanding treatment options for both drug-resistant and newly diagnosed patients. These newer antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) often offer better tolerability, more focused mechanisms, and fewer drug interactions.
