Dietary effects on antiseizure drug metabolism and management of epilepsy

Previous studies have provided extensive evidence on the effectiveness of the ketogenic diet (KD) in providing effective seizure control, improving psychiatric and cognitive comorbidities, and preventing the process of epileptogenesis [1]. Since the tolerable adverse effects of the diet are outweighed by the benefits of the KD, as demonstrated in a study involving patients with Dravet Syndrome, implementation of KD in patients with seizures refractory to pharmacological therapy is highly encouraged [2].
