It is known that contraceptives (mainly estrogen part) increases the metabolism of certain AEDs and vice versa, and hence, there is an extreme need of more research for searching non-enzyme-inducing AEDs effective for women with epilepsy and intractable epilepsy in women related to menstrual cycle.
Would you suggest the adolescent and young women with epilepsy (WWE) for considering the option of non-enzyme-inducing AEDs as long-term antiepileptic treatment, where applicable?
