EFFECTIVENESS OF USING MODERN ANTIEPILEPTIC DRUGS IN PREGNANT WOMEN

Abstract

The article presents comparative data on the effectiveness of lamotrigine and convulex used in the treatment of epilepsy in pregnant women. The study group consisted of 88 pregnant women with epilepsy, aged 20 to 40 years. The patients were divided into two groups. The first group included 42 patients who were prescribed lamotrigine. The second group consisted of 46 pregnant women with epilepsy who were prescribed convulsions. We observed patients during the prenatal period and 30 days in the postpartum period. It is proved that the optimal condition for the treatment of epilepsy during pregnancy is monotherapy with a minimum dose of anticonvulsants.
