Antiepileptics are drugs used to treat or suppress epileptic seizures. Currently, over twenty antiepileptic drugs are registered in the Czech

Republic. Some of them are frequently used in all types of epileptic seizures while others are indicated in limited circumstances due to

selection efficiency or poor tolerability. The widely used classic antiepileptics include carbamazepine and valproates and the widely

used novel ones include lamotrigine, levetiracetam and topiramate.
