Abstract
SummaryDrugs with potential to lower the seizure threshold are numerous and diverse. Whether they contribute to clinically overt seizures depends on the dosage in which they are taken, the time-course of their effects and the susceptibility of the patient. Crucially, however, their contribution to seizure risk is potentially modifiable.
