  • Title: Novel antiepileptic drugs: nursing implications.
    Author: Byers VL.
    Journal: J Neurosci Nurs; 1993 Dec; 25(6):375-9. PubMed ID: 8106833.
    Abstract:
    It has been 14 years since the last AED was placed on the drug market in the United States. This article reviews four novel AEDs that hold promise for treating epilepsy. One drug, felbamate, has recently been released, while the other three are expected to be available within 5 years. Since nurses play a critical role in AED therapy, nursing intervention related to assessment, teaching and emotional support is important in the management of epilepsy.
