Epilepsy Bereaved has joined forces with the National Society for Epilepsy, Epilepsy Scotland, Epilepsy Action and the National Centre for Young People with Epilepsy to develop an information DVD on the importance of taking anti-epileptic medication.
The ‘Taking the Tablets’ DVD and accompanying booklet offers a programme for people with epilepsy about anti-epileptic drug treatment with views and experiences of people with the condition and two medical professionals.
Speaking on the DVD, Dr Henry Smithson Senior Lecturer in General Practice, Sheffield; “The majority of people who have epileptic seizures are given anti-epileptic drugs to try and reduce or even stop the seizures…Between 60 and 70% of people’s seizures can be stopped by anti-epileptic drugs”
