Figure 16.7 The structure of some established antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) and some newer ones. Note that while the structures of phenytoin and ethosuximide are similar and also close to that of phenobarbitone, they are effective in different forms of epilepsy. Vigabatrin, progabide and gabapentin are clearly related to GABA. Muscimol is a GABAa agonist but is not an effective antiepileptic drug...

Outside of the evidence-based guidelines, other pharmacologic treatments are commonly used or avoided. For initial treatment of absence seizures, ethosuximide and valproate are commonly used, not only in the United Kingdom, but also in the United States. Zonisamide may be also used for initial treatment of absence and myoclonic seizures. In absence and myoclonic seizures, carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, gabapentin, tiagabine, and pregabalin should be avoided, as they have been associated with an exacerbation of these types of seizures.

For simple and complex partial seizures and secondary generalized tonic-clonic seizures, the first line drugs are - carbamazepine, valproate and phenytoin. Second line drugs include - acetazolamide, clobazam, clonazepam, ethosuximide, felbamate, gabapentin, lamotrigine, levetiracetam, oxacarbamazepine, primidone, tiagabine, topiramate and vigabactin.

Commercial immunoassays have long been available for the classic anticonvulsants such as phenytoin, carbamazepine, valproic acid, primidone, and ethosuximide and generally provide useful results under normal TDM conditions. Kits for the newer anticonvulsants such as lamotrigine, gabapentin, zonisamide, and levetiracetam have become available only recently so their effectiveness in monitoring in a broad population cannot yet be evaluated. While targeted immunoassay can be a very efficient and cost-effective way...
