How are Antiepileptics Chosen for Pediatric Patients?
The choice of antiepileptic medication for a child depends on several factors including the type of seizure, the child's age, the epilepsy syndrome, potential side effects, and the presence of any comorbid conditions. For instance, some AEDs like valproic acid are effective for generalized seizures, while others like carbamazepine are more suitable for focal seizures.
