MedPage Today (6/7, Kneisel) reports, “Language development scores at age two were similar for children of women with epilepsy taking antiseizure medications and children with healthy mothers,” researchers concluded in an analysis that “included 292 children of women with epilepsy (median age of about 2, 53% girls) and 90 children of healthy women (median age of about 2, 52% boys).” According to the article, “most of the mothers with epilepsy were taking lamotrigine (Lamictal; 46%) or levetiracetam (Keppra; 33.2%),” and “about 45% were taking both.” The findings were published online in JAMA Neurology.
