Drug Resistance and Resistance Mechanisms in Epilepsy

Journal of the Turkish Epilepsi Society, 2015
Epilepsy is a commonly encountered disorder among neurological disorders in our country and in the world. Almost 30% of seizures persist in spite of medical treatment. Resistance to medical treatment is important with regard to cognitive and psychosocial problems, and increased risk in mortality and morbidity. It may emerge due to the type of epilepsy,

Association between ABCB1 C3435T polymorphism and drug-resistant epilepsy in Han Chinese

, 2007
There is accumulating evidence to suggest that overexpression of efflux drug transporters at the blood-brain barrier, by reducing antiepileptic drug (AED) accumulation in the seizure foci, contributes to drug resistance in epilepsy.
