Medication alone cannot prevent<unk> . It need to be supplemented by life-style changes such as exercise, stress reduction, good sleep hygiene, and healthy diet. Research shows that patient with ketogenic diet have 50% reduction in seizure episodes and 34% of patients become seizure free. Medications that should not be used Carbamazepine, vigabatrin, and tiagabine are contraindicated in the treatment of<unk> s, irrespective of cause and severity. This is based on clinical and experimental evidence. In particular, the GABA agonists vigabatrin and tiagabine are used to induce, not to treat,<unk> s and<unk>  status epilepticus. Similarly, oxcarbazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital, gabapentin, and pregabalin should not be used in the treatment of<unk> s because these medications may worsen<unk> s. Data limitations In the treatment of<unk> s there is often insufficient evidence for which of the available medications has the best combination of safety and efficacy for a particular patient. Nor is it easily known how long a medication must be continued before an off-medication trial should be conducted to determine whether the patient has outgrown the<unk> s, as is often the case in children. To date there have been no published results of any large, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies comparing the efficacy and safety of these or any other medications for<unk> s. A 2019 Cochrane review found that ethosuximide was the best mono-therapy for children and adolescents but noted that if<unk> s co-exist with tonic-clonic seizures then valproate should be preferred.
