Patient's question:
Recently, I've been having frequent seizures, which was never the case before. I want to ask the doctor what the first-line medication is for status epilepticus.Doctor's answer:
Currently, if a status of persistent epilepsy occurs again, the first-line medication is primarily intravenous diazepam, which is quite effective in promptly alleviating symptoms. Patients with epilepsy must pay attention to rest and maintain a calm mood. It is best to avoid excessive exertion and emotional excitement, which are contributing factors. Additionally, it is crucial to take medication on schedule as prescribed by the doctor, which can help reduce the frequency of recurrence.
