Abstract
The goal of pharmacologic therapy for patients with epilepsy is to suppress seizures without side effects. There is growing interest in developing antiepileptogenic drugs capable of preventing the onset of seizures in patients at high risk and inducing a permanent remission of seizures in patients with epilepsy, i.e., a cure. Whether any anticonvulsant drugs in current use have antiepileptogenic properties is the subject of this overview.
