Abstract A seizure is a brief deviation from the brain's regular electrical activity that alters awareness and behavior. Seizures are brief burst so fun controllable movement that can affect either a piece of the body (partial) or the full body (generalized) and are frequently followed by a loss of awareness and control over bowel or bladder function. Epilepsy is distinguished by recurring seizures. Epilepsy is a neurological disorder marked by sudden recurrent episodes of sensory disturbance, loss of consciousness, associated with abnormal electrical activity in the brain. The goal of the study is to find out risk factors and prescribing pattern of antiseizure drugs in different types of seizure disorder. An educational observational study was carried out among 42 samples in the In-patient Department of General Medicine, ESI MC- PGIMSR, and Rajajinagar. The data was collected using self-designed data collection form. All information’s were processed and analyzed by using Microsoft excel.
It was observed that a majority of the subjects involved in the study was prescribed with Levetiracetam (69.81%). A high prevalence of New onset seizure with risk factor of CVS causes (36.92%) and Alcohol withdrawal (20%) was observed. In CVS cause, stroke was prominent. From this study, generalized tonic clonic seizure was most commonly observed type of seizure and Levetiracetam was most frequently prescribed drug to them. Majority of patients were given mono therapy to achieve seizure control.
