title: [New possibilities of pharmacological treatment of adult epilepsy].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study an effect of cortexin on epilepsy course and electroencephalographic pattern in stopping the symptoms concomitant to epilepsy.
  
  
  METHODS
  A study included 64 patients with epilepsy (22 men and 42 women, aged from 20 to 85 years). Along with standard treatment, the patients received cortexin (three 10-day courses during 12 months intramuscular in dose 10 mg daily).
