Neurologists’ insights and practices on generic antiepileptic medications in epilepsy management: A Saudi Arabian perspective
Half of the neurologists participating in the study are concerned about substituting brand-name antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) with generic ones. Neurologists had mixed perceptions regarding the use of generic AEDs for cost-saving purposes and the safety of substituting brand-name medications with generics. We encourage reporting every incident of seizure in patients on generic AEDs.
