Difference between Absence seizure and Anticonvulsant

Absence seizure vs. Anticonvulsant

Absence seizures are one of several kinds of generalized seizures. Anticonvulsants (also commonly known as antiepileptic drugs or as antiseizure drugs) are a diverse group of pharmacological agents used in the treatment of epileptic seizures.

Similarities between Absence seizure and Anticonvulsant

Absence seizure and Anticonvulsant have 14 things in common (in Unionpedia): Carbamazepine, Clonazepam, Ethosuximide, Focal seizure, Gabapentin, Lamotrigine, Oxcarbazepine, Phenobarbital, Phenytoin, Pregabalin, Status epilepticus, Tiagabine, Valproate, Vigabatrin.

Carbamazepine

Carbamazepine (CBZ), sold under the tradename Tegretol, among others, is a medication used primarily in the treatment of epilepsy and neuropathic pain.

Oxcarbazepine

Oxcarbazepine is an anticonvulsant drug primarily used in the treatment of epilepsy. There is some evidence for oxcarbazepine as a mood-stabilizing agent and thus, it can be used as add-on therapy for bipolar disorder in patients that have failed or are unable to tolerate approved treatments. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, drowsiness, headache, double vision and trouble with walking. Although not common, anaphylaxis may occur. Due to its structural similarities to carbamazepine there is approximately a 25–30% chance of cross-reactivity between the two medications. Oxcarbazepine is marketed as Trileptal by Novartis and available in some countries as a generic drug. There is also an extended-release formulation marketed as Oxtellar XR by Supernus Pharmaceuticals.
