Abstract:
A large percent of the patients were controlled by the available antiepileptic drugs. The limited efficacy of antiepileptic drugs is still a matter of concern, >30% of patients showed refractory epilepsy and 30-40% suffered from antiepileptic side effects. Many kinds of medicinal plants possessed antiepileptic activity, and many researchers have focused on the efficacy of their crude extracts. This review discussed the medicinal plants with antiepileptic effect focusing on active ingredients and their mode of action.
