- W2317282392 abstract "To review the epidemiology and pharmacologic management of epilepsy in elderly patients.Controlled trials, case studies, and review articles identified via MEDLINE using the search terms epilepsy, seizures, elderly, phenobarbital, primidone, phenytoin, carbamazepine, valproic acid, felbamate, gabapentin, lamotrigine, topiramate, tiagabine, levetiracetam, oxcarbazepine, and zonisamide. Recently published standard textbooks on epilepsy were also consulted.Epilepsy is a common neurologic disorder in the elderly. Cerebrovascular and neurodegenerative diseases are the most common causes of new-onset seizures in these patients. Alterations in protein binding, distribution, elimination, and increased sensitivity to the pharmacodynamic effects of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are relatively frequent, and these factors should be assessed at the initiation, and during adjustment, of treatment. Drug-drug interactions are also an important issue in elderly patients, because multiple drug use is common and AEDs are susceptible to many interactions. In addition to understanding age-related changes in the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of AEDs, clinicians should know the common seizure types in the elderly and the spectrum of AED activity for these seizure types. AEDs with activity against both partial-onset and generalized seizures include felbamate, lamotrigine, levetiracetam, topiramate, valproic acid, and zonisamide. Other AEDs discussed in this review (carbamazepine, gabapentin, phenobarbital, phenytoin, primidone, and tiagabine) are most useful for partial-onset seizures.The provision of safe and effective drug therapy to elderly patients requires an understanding of the unique age-related changes' in the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of AEDs as well as an appreciation of common seizure types and the drugs that are effective for the specific types seen in the elderly." @default.
