  1. antiepileptic drug

    An antiepileptic drug, also known as an anticonvulsant, is a type of medication used primarily in the treatment of epilepsy, a neurological disorder characterized by frequent seizures. These drugs function by suppressing the rapid and excessive firing of neurons that start a seizure. They also prevent the spread of the seizure within the brain. Some antiepileptic drugs can also be used in the treatment of conditions that affect mood or prevent migraines.
