Martin Brodie • 23 Oct 2020
CONy 2020
Epilepsy

Martin Brodie, MD, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, UK, discusses treating epilepsy with drug combination therapy. It can be beneficial to treat patients with drug combinations rather than stopping one treatment to start another. The data supports this, indicating that it can reduce side effects and can be more tolerable. This interview took place during the Virtual World Congress on Controversies in Neurology (CONy) 2020.
