  • @Nikosmentis
    So useful, as a pharmacy student I can guarantee epilepsy is by far the most difficult chapter for the 1st semester because there are many drugs, many mechanisms of action and most probably more than one drug is required for the same type of epilepsy, not to mention how they interfere with the CYP450 and blood plasma proteins for drug-drug interactions... I Would really appreciate if you also made a lecture on antiphycotics!
