Epilepsy is a chronic disorder that affects the brain and causes frequent seizures. Seizures are bursts of electrical activity in the brain that temporarily affects its functioning. Epilepsy can start at any age, but usually starts either in childhood or in people over the age of 60. There are several tests conducted to determine the activity in the brain. An electroencephalogram (EEG) is conducted on epilepsy patients to check for unusual electrical activities in the brain. A brain scan is also used to spot problems in the brain that is sometimes caused due to epilepsy such as an unusual growth (brain tumour), damage to the brain, and scarring in the brain. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan is also used to conduct the brain scan in patients suffering from epilepsy. It uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create an image of the brain. Anti-epileptic drugs are also used in the treatment of epilepsy, which are categorized into three generations.
Market Dynamics
Increasing number of product launches is expected to drive the global anti-epileptic drug market. For instance, in January 2016, Mylan N.V. launched Felbamate tablets USP in 400 mg and 600 mg dosages. Felbamate tablets are the generic version of Felbatol tablets used for the treatment of epilepsy. These are recommended for the treatment of partial seizures, with or without secondary generalizations in adults with epilepsy and in the treatment of partial and generalized seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome in children.
However, growth of the global anti-epileptic drug market is expected to be hampered over the forecast period, owing to potential side effects of the anti-epileptic drugs. For instance, according to the Journal of Family Practice, the side effects of anti-epileptic drugs include, the medication Phenytoin, which is used for treating epilepsy patients causes a pattern of defects collectively called the Fetal Hydantoin Syndrome (FHS), which is characterized by variable degrees of hypoplasia and ossification of the distal phalanges and craniofacial abnormalities.
