[Adherence to medication and epilepsy: a current issue].
As in other chronic diseases, adherence to medication in epilepsy is critical for seizure control. Its assessment remains challenging in research as in clinical practice. Recent evidences showed another face of nonadherence: the overconsumption of antiepileptic drugs. Some educational interventions with easy implementation were found to be effective in improving adherence and should be therefore more used in everyday practice.
