Traffic accidents caused by epilepsy.

abstract：:Several different types of chemical compounds are useful as antiepileptic drugs. Their mechanisms of action, as well as their physical structures, differ. Compounds such as carbamazepine, phenytoin, and probably valproate act by modifying ionic conductances, particularly sodium and calcium, in excitable membranes, thu...
