Abstract

The term “anti-epileptic drug” refers to the currently available medical treatment against epilepsy. A discussion amongst the authors was sought to critically examine the term and identify possible issues. Translations in other languages were retrieved from literature and the usage confirmed by correspondence with native users of the language working in the medical field. The aim of this article is to initiate a debate by highlighting some negative undertones attached to this terminology.
