OPTION 2
Anti-Seizure Medications (ASM) are purchased and dispensed from drug bank within the premises of National Epilepsy Centre, under stringent drug audit. We provide most of the first line and some second line ASM).
Patients for better seizure control may require newer expensive ASMs. We are looking for funds for addition of these ASMs to our drug bank formulary. Also the unprecedented countrywide inflation and unpredictable shortage in the market of the cheaper first-generation anti-seizure medicines carbamazepine & valproate has led to poor compliance resulting in break through seizures. To avoid this, patients had to be put on newer generation medicines, which are significantly expensive compared to first generation ones. All this has increased our drug bank budget markedly.
