Abstract
Approximately 65% of children with newly diagnosed epilepsy achieve sustained control of their epileptic seizures with the antiepileptic drug (AED) initially prescribed, and 15-20% require the combination of other AEDs. To begin treatment with an AED, basic aspects should be considered, such as the capacity for absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination of the drug. Treatment with an AED in pediatric patients, as for any age, must be personalized, but in these cases, the biological age and its degree of development are fundamental. Furthermore, the type of seizure, type of epileptic syndrome, comorbidity,
