What is the anti epileptic drug of choice for convulsion after electrical shock
Shimaa Nasr Answered question January 27, 2024
The treatment will depend on the type of seizures.
Seizures following electrical shock tends to be an immediate effect that resolves shortly after electrical shock.
If the convulsions persist, that would mean a more permanent or long term effect that needs further investigations and diagnosis before recommending any medication.
