What is Pediatric Epilepsy? Children with epilepsy have seizures (quick, uncontrollable disturbances in the brain). *A child with epilepsy has a high risk for recurring seizures.
Epilepsy is more common in young children between the ages of 1 and 5.
How is pediatric epilepsy treated?
Anti-seizure medications are the most common way to treat epilepsy. These medications can come in a liquid that your child can drink or a pill that your child can swallow. These medications must be taken every day, as prescribed, to prevent seizures.
Monotherapy for Epilepsy
Some of the anti-seizure medications -- like Depakote -- have been approved as monotherapy for children.
This means that it could be the only epilepsy drug your child would take. Many children prefer monotherapy because they only have to remember to take one pill. Some of these have sprinkle forms to add to food to make it easier to take.
