Abstract: Drug-induced seizures are a potentially serious adverse effect.This article provides a comprehensive review of drugs that are most commonly associated with seizures as an adverse drug reaction.The epidemiology, pathophysiology, various predisposing factors, and the drug classes implicated in seizures have been extensively reviewed to provide the physicians with treatment alternatives, especially, in high risk cases.Moreover, the review delineates the management of patients with drug induced seizures briefly.We hope to assist the clinicians by revising data regarding drugs class and individual medications associated with seizures and its management.
