'''Seizure suppression''' is an effect caused by drugs which are known as ~~[[anticonvulsant]]s~~. These are drugs that prevent or reduce the severity and frequency of [[seizure]]s in various types of epilepsy. The different types of ~~[[anticonvulsant]]s~~ may act on different receptors in the brain and have different modes of action.

The different types of anticonvulsants may act on different receptors in the brain and have different modes of action.

Two mechanisms that appear to be important in ~~[[anticonvulsant]]s~~ are enhancement of [[GABA]] action and inhibition of sodium channel activity. Other mechanisms are inhibition of calcium channels and [[glutamate]] [[receptors]].
