HealthDay (3/12, Preidt) reports that taking medications to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD) will not raise the risk of seizures in people with epilepsy, researchers concluded after analyzing “data from thousands of epilepsy patients in Sweden.” The findings were published online Jan. 25 in the journal Epilepsia. HealthDay adds, “Approximately nine percent of children aged two to 17 have had” a diagnosis of AD/HD, “according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.”
