Anticonvulsants

What are anticonvulsants?

Anticonvulsants, also called anti-seizure medicines, are a broad family of medicines used to help manage epilepsy and seizure disorders. Some medicines in the class may also be prescribed for other specific conditions. They differ in their active ingredients, suitable seizure types, formulations and prescription considerations, so a medicine should be selected according to a clinician's diagnosis and prescription rather than by class name alone.

What should I consider when comparing anticonvulsant medicines?

Long-established approaches and newer medicines can both have a place in seizure care. Differences may include whether a medicine is used for focal or generalised seizures, its dosage form, potential interactions and the individual treatment plan. Some anticonvulsants act through sodium channels, GABA-related pathways or other neurological targets, but medicines from these groups are not automatically interchangeable. Check that the active ingredient, strength and form match your prescription before ordering.

Which anticonvulsants are known in the United Kingdom?

A range of anticonvulsant active ingredients is used in UK clinical practice, with treatment choices guided by the type of epilepsy, other medicines and individual clinical factors. Gabapentin is authorised for human use in the UK. For the capsules and tablets we list, prescription status is required; this classification applies to that product form and should not be assumed for every anticonvulsant.

Which anticonvulsant option do we list?

We list Neurontin, containing gabapentin, in capsules and tablets for oral use. Confirmed strengths are 100 mg, 300 mg, 400 mg, 600 mg and 800 mg, with pack quantities from 10 to 360 tablets. Prices start from £25.69. The 100 mg option has a lowest listed unit price of £0.33 per tablet on the 360-tablet pack; choose the strength and quantity prescribed for you, not simply the lowest unit price.
