Should special consideration be given to the substitution of antiepileptic drugs, and should antiepileptic prescriptions change for pregnant women? Dr. Jacqueline French, a professor in the department of neurology at the Comprehensive Epilepsy Center at New York University, joins host Dr. Anthony Alessi to discuss how to help determine which is best for your patient, and what key items to review when making the decision. Additionally, Dr. French explores the effect of pregnancy on antiepileptic drugs in women, and in which cases you should advise against antiepileptic drugs during pregnancy.
