Mechanism of Action
Anti-epileptic drugs work by reducing excessive neuronal activity in the brain. They primarily act by:
- Blocking sodium and calcium ion channels
- Enhancing GABA (inhibitory neurotransmitter) activity
- Reducing excitatory neurotransmission (glutamate)
These actions help prevent the generation and spread of seizure activity in the brain.
