PROSPECTS OF APPLICATION OF NEW ANTIEPILEPTIC DRUGS
Abstract
The article provides basic information on the chemical structure, mechanism of action, pharmacokinetics, indications, contraindications, and the prospects of clinical application of new antiepileptic drugs: eslikarbazepin, zonisamide, perampanel and rufinamid. Each newest AEDs has a unique mechanism, improved pharmacokinetics and tolerability, thereby significantly expanding the possibilities of rational therapy of epilepsy.
