Pharmacotherapeutics New Antiepileptic Drugs in Childhood Epilepsy Sajun Chung, MD Department of Pediatrics, Kyunghee University College of Medicine E - mail : sajchung@khmc.or.kr J Korean Med Assoc 2009; 52(6): 611-626 Abstract Many new antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) have been developed in the last two decades, contributing to the optimal treatment for childhood epilepsy. The goal of the treatment is to achieve seizure-free without any side effects, that deteriorates the quality of life by causing negative consequences. The new AEDs have not shown better efficacy, but generally seem to be better tolerated, having fewer systemic reactions and better pharmacokinetics than the established AEDs. The new AEDs have a broad spectrum of activities, which offer new opportunities to patients who have not shown any favorable responses to the established ones. There are more choices when trying to select AEDs for epileptic seizures and syndromes. Majority of the new AEDs have more than one action mechanism. AEDs acting selectively through the GABAergic system are tiagabine and vigabatrin; acting by inhibition of voltagedependent Na and Ca 2 channels are lamotirigine, oxcabarbazepine and topiramate; and acting by inhibition of glutamate-mediated excitation are felbamate, topiramate. The pharmacokinetic parameters of the new AEDs compared to the established AEDs, new AEDs have improved in terms of longer half-lives, permitting less frequent daily dosing, reduced potential for drug interactions. Considerations in selecting an AEDs are not only dependent on seizure types or syndromes, side effect profile, action mechanism, drug interaction, pharmacokinetic profile, facility of drug initiation, but also on age and sex of patients. Patients with worsened seizure frequency or development of new types of seizure after the introduction of AEDs, should be questioned on the previously diagnosed seizure types or syndromes. Keywords: New antiepileptic drugs; Action of mechanism; Pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics; Side effects; Seizure aggravation. 611

Chung SJ Table 8. Commandments in the pharmacological treatment of epilepsy (7) Choose the correct drug for the seizure type or epilepsy syndrome Start at low dosage and increase incrementally Titrate slowly to allow tolerance to central nervous system side-effects Keep the regimen simple with once- or twice-daily dosing, if possible Measure drug concentration when seizures are controlled or if control is not readily obtained (if possible) Counsel the patient early regarding the implications of the diagnosis and the prophylactic nature of drug therapy Try two reasonable monotherapy options before adding a second drug When seizures persist, combine the best tolerated first-line drug with one of the newer agents depending on seizure type and mechanism of action Simplify dose schedules and drug regimens as much as possible in patients receiving polypharmacy Aim for the best seizure control consistent with the optimal quality of life in patients with refractory epilepsy Table 9.

Topiramate or levetiracetam Long-term prophylactic therapy after simple febrile seizures's is not recommended. FAmilies can be advised to have rectal diazepam available for use as needed ACTH, predinisolone, pyridoxine, vigabatrin (tuberous sclerosis), nitrazepam, topiramate, lamotrigine Topiramate and Lamotrigine (may exacerbate myoclonic seizures in some patients) topiramate + low to moderate doses of lamotrigine (considered for synergistic action) Carbamazepine, Gabapentin may be first choice because of lack of toxicity compared with carbamazepine. Ethosuximide, valproic acid, and lamotrigine are commonly used; Initial choice may be based on perception of tolerability, potential cognitive effects and systemic toxicity, and urgency of need for rapid control Valproic acid is currently the drug of choice. there is evidence of effectiveness of lamotrigine as monotherapyand of topiramate as adjunctive therapy Carbamazepine or oxcarbazepine considered an acceptable first drug by many, followed by lamotrigine, or topiramate, with choice based on tolerability. Strongest evidence favors topiramate among the newer AEDs. showed equivalent efficacy of oxcarbazepine and phenytoin.
