Epileptic seizure associated with drugs: Report of two cases

Abstract

A febrile seizure rate is 2-5%, throughout the life of a human in a population. Drug-induced seizures are relatively rare. Numerous drugs have been suspected to be associated with the occurrence of epileptic seizures. The risk of seizure is greatest in patients predisposed to seizure by use of conventional antipsychotics, olanzapine, risperidone, bupropion, tricyclic antidepressants, cyclosporin, interferon, corticosteroids, propofol, imipenem, and chloroquine. In this paper, two cases with suspicion of drug induced seizures were presented.
