Antiepileptic Drug Therapy and Monitoring
چکیده انگلیسی

Over the past 2 decades, the number of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) available to veterinarians has grown exponentially. Coupled with this increase is the ability to rapidly and accurately diagnose underlying brain disease with readily accessible magnetic resonance imaging. As a result, the veterinary community is attuned to the need for early treatment intervention. As more treatment choices become available, the unrelenting questions still arise are when should treatment begin, which initial drug therapy is best for our patients, when should treatment changes be considered, and finally, what are the advantages that newer drugs provide for our patients. The purpose of this chapter is to review decision-making strategies for AED therapy, provide an overview of the applicability of current AED available, and present information on the therapeutic advances in epilepsy.
