Clinically Useful Drugs

Anticonvulsant drugs may be divided into four classes, based on their most likely mechanism of action.

CLINICALLY USEFUL DRUGS

Anticonvulsant drugs may be divided into four classes, based on their most likely mechanism of action. Although it may be premature to assign a mechanism of action to some of these compounds, the proposed classes are a convenient way to group the drugs. 

Furthermore, the classes themselves may have relevance, since compounds in a particular category are of-ten used for the same clinical indication. For a proposed mechanism of action to be considered relevant for a given drug, the effect must occur at concentrations sim-ilar to those that are likely to be achieved therapeuti-cally.
