Medication treatment for epilepsy in United Kingdom: Our Best Clinics and Costs 2025

What is important to know about the medical treatment of epilepsy?

• Accurate diagnosis is of particular importance for the selection of medical treatment for epilepsy. Each of the 35 forms of the disease manifests itself differently and can be controlled with certain drugs. In order for a neurologist to make a correct diagnosis and select an effective therapy, the patient must undergo a comprehensive examination. The accuracy of diagnosing epilepsy abroad is several times higher than in the CIS countries. For example, according to the Teknon Medical Center, where Professor Antonio Russi receives, in 30 out of 100 patients he does not confirm the form of epilepsy that was determined at home. After additional tests, only 1 correctly prescribed medicine helps them to completely get rid of seizures.
• Specialists of major European centers for the treatment of epilepsy use about 30 drugs with different mechanisms of action. In Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan there are no more than 10 of them, and they are not always freely available. According to a study by the World Health Organization in 2017, in the CIS countries, 50% of patients lack the necessary medicines.
