Do you have Drug-Resistant Epilepsy?

  • Medication alone isn't the answer for 1/3 of people having seizures.

  • A person is considered to have drug-resistant epilepsy when adequate trials of two or more tolerated and appropriately chosen medications fail to achieve sustained seizure freedom.

  • People with drug-resistant epilepsy should consider other non-drug treatment options, like VNS Therapy™, to try to improve their seizure control and overall quality of life.
