Reference statistics only. FAERS reports are voluntarily submitted and are not incidence rates, safety signals, or causal evidence. The drugs below are ranked by how often this reaction appears on FAERS reports for each drug — high share does not mean the drug caused the reaction, and absence from this list does not mean the reaction never occurred. This is not a symptom checker.

DefinitionNLM MeSH D012640

Clinical or subclinical disturbances of cortical function due to a sudden, abnormal, excessive, and disorganized discharge of brain cells. Clinical manifestations include abnormal motor, sensory and psychic phenomena. Recurrent seizures are usually referred to as EPILEPSY or seizure disorder.
