The Anticonvulsants Market size is expected to increase over the forecast period, owing to rising prevalence of epilepsy globally.

Anticonvulsants Market


Anticonvulsants are medications that are used to treat epileptic seizures. These are frequently referred to as anti-epileptic or anti-seizure medications. Epilepsy is a chronic central nervous system (neurological) illness in which brain activity becomes aberrant, resulting in seizures or episodes of odd behavior, feelings, and, in rare cases, loss of consciousness. Bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, fibromyalgia, and neuropathic pain are all treated with anticonvulsant medications. Epilepsy can strike anyone at any time and in any age group. According to Epilepsy Society of the United Kingdom data from 2019, there are over 20 medications available for the treatment of epilepsy, including barbiturates, carboxamides, carbamates, and GABA analogs, as well as over 25 generics.

Global Anticonvulsants Market: Drivers

Restraints in the Global Anticonvulsant Market

Anticonvulsants medications' adverse effects, such as mouth sores, blisters, or ulcers, excessive bleeding in wounds, stomach pain and tenderness, fever, and uncommon infections, are a major restraint on the market expansion.
