Page "Epileptic seizure" Paragraph 50
from
Wikipedia
Ongoing medication is not typically needed after a first seizure and is generally only recommended after a second has occurred or those with structural lesions in the brain.
However, in severe cases where patients experience frequent unpredictable seizures everyday, the use of anti-epileptic drugs ( AEDs ) are recommended to reduce the likelihood and duration of seizures.
Approximately 70 % of the patients could have the seizures fully under control with continuous use of medication.
The National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence ( NICE ) suggests patients taking only one type of AEDs at a time.
