Under the spell of valproic acid -
This case describes a serious but rare adverse effect of the antiepileptic drug valproicacid (valproate-induced encephalopathy) in a 65-year-old man. The patient was started on valproic acid on questionable grounds due to a suspected single seizure.

Pending larger, ideally prospective comparative studies, repeated routine EEG may represent a r...
Associations of SLCO gene polymorphisms with perampanel response and plasma concentrations in patients: a longitudinal retrospective real-world study in refractory epilepsy -
CONCLUSION: SLCO gene polymorphisms were shown to be important predictors of effective seizure control related to PER treatment and were identified as factors affecting plasma concentrations of PER. The findings on SLCO genotypes and PER plasma concentration monitoring provide a promising treatment strategy for Chinese patients with RE.
