Neurontin (gabapentin) is used to treat seizures and nerve pain caused by the herpes virus.

Anti-epileptic medications are the fundamental type of treatment for individuals with epilepsy. And more up to 70% (7 in 10) individuals with epilepsy could have their seizures totally controlled with this drug.

WHAT IS A SEIZURE?

The mind contains billions of neurons (nerve cells) that make and get electrical motivations. Electrical driving forces permit neurons to speak with each other. Amid a seizure, there is irregular and unreasonable electrical movement in the cerebrum. This can result in progressions in mindfulness, conduct, and/or strange developments. This movement typically endures just a couple of seconds to minutes.

Epilepsy alludes to a condition in which an individual has a danger of repeating epileptic seizures. Not everybody who has had a seizure has epilepsy. Non-epileptic seizures might be brought on by different conditions, for example, low glucose, a swooning spell, or a tension assault.


SEIZURE CAUSES
As noted prior, all seizures are not brought on by epilepsy. There are three general classes of seizure reasons:

- epileptic seizures — People with epilepsy have a sort of mind brokenness that discontinuously causes scenes of strange electrical action. This might be brought about by any kind of cerebrum damage, for example, trauma, stroke, mind disease, or a cerebrum tumor. In a few people, epilepsy is an inherited condition. greatly of the time, the reason for epileptic seizures is not clear.

- provoked seizures — A comparable sort of irregular electrical movement in the mind might be brought about by specific medications, liquor withdrawal, and different awkward nature, for example, a low glucose. Seizures that are brought on by issues like these are called "incited" seizures, and they don't normally happen again once the issue is helped. Individuals with incited seizures are not said to have epilepsy.

- non-epileptic seizures — Non-epileptic seizures look like seizures, yet are not created by strange cerebrum movement. These seizures may be because of blacking out spell, a muscle issue, or a mental condition.
