Anticonvulsant, or anti-epileptic drugs, are used to treat a wide range of symptoms affecting the nervous system. Most commonly they are utilized to control convulsive seizures, psychotic behavior and pain. Many of these drugs have very narrow therapeutic ranges and low thresholds for toxicity, meaning precision and accuracy are of the utmost importance. Our serum controls for anticonvulsants are an integral part of quality control for any lab that performs therapeutic drug monitoring.
