Abstract
This review, conducted by the Andalusian Epilepsy Society, provides an update on recent advances in the treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy, focusing on three new anti-seizure drugs: cenobamate, fenfluramine and cannabidiol. These emerging drugs offer new therapeutic alternatives for patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy, Dravet syndrome, and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. The primary objective of this review is to provide healthcare professionals with an up-to-date overview of the efficacy, safety and potential clinical applications of these treatments, backed by the latest evidence. In addition to reviewing the available clinical evidence, the document addresses essential practical considerations for the implementation of these drugs in routine clinical practice, including aspects such as their dosage, drug interactions, and management of their side-effects. With this review, the Andalusian Epilepsy Society aims to contribute to improving the care for and quality of life of patients with drug-resistant epilepsy and their families.
