Studies on antiepileptic drug utilization are important for the optimization of drug therapy and drug control. The present study was to evaluate the drug utilization pattern of standard antiepileptic drugs and traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) in the treatment of different types of epilepsy in a general hospital in Taiwan. Method: The epileptic patients under antiepileptic drug treatment at Veterans General Hospital-Taipei were considered in the analysis. Current diagnosis was obtained by the neurologist in charge of the patient. All patients were interviewed by standard questionnaire designed to provide specific information on the types of antiepileptic drugs and details of their use. The questionnaire also sought to determine whether TCMs were used, and whether patients were using TCMs in combination with hospital standard treatment. The results were analysed by descriptive statistics.
