Abstract

Epilepsy affects millions of people world-wide with wideranging health and economic consequences [1]. A first-line approach to the control of epilepsy is through the administration of anticonvulsant drugs sometimes referred to as antiepileptics [2]. These medicines help control seizure activity but the evidence for controlling disease progression in patients is not firmly established [3].
