摘要

Drug-induced seizures are in view of a constantly ageing population and increasingly frequent polypharmacotherapy an increasing problem in daily routine praxis. Identification of potentially seizure-inducing drugs may help generating risk profiles for individual patients. Drug-induced seizures have often been seen as a complication of psychopharmacological therapy, but its occurrence has also been described in response to a great diversity of compounds such as antibiotics, sympathomimetics and anaesthetics. The present article outlines a synopsis of the most prevalent seizure-inducing drugs as well as strategies how to deal with a patient suffering from a drug-induced seizure.
