title: [The anti-epileptic drugs].
abstract: It is no longer acceptable to prescribe anticonvulsants on the basis of empirical rules. Pharmacological studies have made it possible to measure the absorption, distribution and excretion of these drugs. Complete understanding of this data is neccessary if anticonvulsant prescribing is to be fully effective and to avoid iatrogenic disease.
