Role of vigabatrin and lamotrigine in treatment of childhood epileptic syndromes.

abstract：:As new antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) become available, physicians will define their appropriate use in particular patient populations. For women, the issues include gender-specific efficacy and tolerability, including the impact of the AED on reproductive health. Women with epilepsy who are treated with established AEDs ...
