Antiepileptic drugs and neurodevelopment

Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, 2006
Clinical studies have documented the teratogenic potential of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). More recent cohort studies have been trying to sort out which AEDs impose the highest risk of teratogenicity. Currently, there is evidence demonstrating an increased risk of major congenital malformations (MCMs) for valproate, phenobarbital, and polytherapy during

Teratogenicity of antiepileptic drugs

Current Opinion in Neurology, 2019
Purpose of review We review data on the comparative teratogenicity of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), focusing on major congenital malformations (MCMs), intrauterine growth restriction, impaired cognitive development, and behavioral adverse effects following prenatal exposure. Recent findings

Antiepileptic drugs in development

The Lancet Neurology, 2006
Despite the success of several new antiepileptic drugs, about one third of patients with epilepsy are not seizure free on medication. Improvement in this situation might lie in drugs that are currently in development.Some new antiepileptic drugs are modifications of those already available, referred to in this Rapid Review as evolutionary drugs.

Hypersensitivity to Antiepileptic Drugs

Immunology and Allergy Clinics of North America, 2014
Adverse reactions to antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) may lead to treatment failure, morbidity, and mortality. Drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs) are potentially fatal. AED DHRs present with a variety of clinical manifestations. The pathogenesis of AED DHRs has not been fully elucidated.
