Epilepsy is a chronic disease in which patient’s brain activities become abnormal due to seizures. Seizure is an unexpected rush of electrical activity in the brain. Seizure is categorized by two types - generalized seizures and focal or partial seizures. Generalized seizures affect the whole brain whereas focal or partial seizures affect just one part of the brain. Global epilepsy drugs market is expected to cross US$ 9 Billion landmark by 2025.
