    Glossary Anticonvulsants

    medications that prevent or reduce seizures by stabilizing brain activity

    Anticonvulsants, also known as antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), are medications used to prevent or reduce the frequency and severity of seizures in individuals with epilepsy or other seizure disorders. They work by stabilizing electrical activity in the brain, which helps to prevent the abnormal bursts of electrical impulses that cause seizures.
