Overview

Epilepsy is a common and serious neurological condition which affects the brain and nervous system. Seizures always start in the brain and are caused by many different underlying causes, including a person's genetics, a structural change in the brain or from other underlying conditions.

Some individuals are prescribed ‘Emergency Resue Medication’ to assist with managing their seizures and prevent life threatening complications.
