Epilepsy is a chronic non-communicable disease characterized by recurrent seizures, which are brief episodes of involuntary movement that may involve a part of the body or the entire body. Its symptoms include abnormal electrical discharges in the brain causing seizures. It affects people of all ages but is more common in children and older adults. There is no cure for epilepsy but seizures can be controlled in about 70% of cases with medication. The global epilepsy drugs market is primarily driven by the increasing prevalence of epilepsy worldwide. Advancements in the treatment options with new drugs in the pipeline also support the growth of this market.
