Produktbeschreibung
Epilepsy is one of most frequent neurological disorders affecting about 50 million people worldwide and 50% of them have at least another medical problem in comorbidity; sometimes this is a the cause of the epilepsy itself or it is due to shared neurobiological links between epilepsy and other medical conditions; other times it is a long-term consequence of the antiepileptic drug treatment.

Pharmacological issues in the management of comorbidities are discussed, providing information on drug dosages, side effects and interactions, in order to enable the reader to manage these patients safely.

Rezensionen
"I particularly liked the chapters on epilepsy and sexual dysfunction (4), epilepsy and inflammatory bowel disease (6), epilepsy and obesity (7) and care aspects in the management of comorbidities in epilepsy (19). Here are some suggestions for the next edition of the book. These comments are not intended to reduce the value of the book. In his Foreword, Marco Mula emphasizes that this is a book by clinicians for clinicians with the aim of improving the treatment and quality of life of people with epilepsy." --Zeitschrift fur Epileptologie
