 One to three antiseizure medications(ASM) achieve good seizure control in 60-70% of patients with epilepsy. However, a large number of patients experience adverse effects and have to change the ASM. Prolonged newer ASMs elicit fewer adverse effects and fewer drug interactions than traditional ASMs. Their teratogenicity has also been reported to be low. The antiseizure effects of the new ASMs are not greater than those of traditional AEMs; however, these ASM characteristics improve adherence and allow combination therapy for drug-resistant epilepsy. Newly developed ASMs have fewer drug interactions than conventional drugs do. Therefore, even for symptomatic epilepsy caused by cerebral lesions such as cerebrovascular disorders or brain tumors, it is easier to use antiepileptic drugs in combination with other drugs for the treatment of these diseases. Furthermore, prescriptions for epilepsy in the elderly, which will increase in the aging society, should be made without increasing the risk of stroke or bone fractures caused by antiepileptic drugs, while simultaneously minimizing the effects of antiepileptic drugs on cognitive function and psychiatric disorders. This review outlines the pharmacotherapy for patients with epilepsy.
