Antiepileptic Drugs & Pregnancy
Understanding Antiepileptic Drugs Taken During Pregnancy
Wednesday, March 11th
12:00pm–1:00pm
If you are living with epilepsy and planning a pregnancy, or are already pregnant, questions about anti-seizure medications can feel overwhelming. Access to reliable research can help you make informed decisions alongside your healthcare team.
In this session, you will learn how the North American AED Pregnancy Registry collects long-term data on antiepileptic drugs taken during pregnancy, why that data matters, and how it contributes to improving outcomes for mothers and babies.
Amy Lyons, Clinical Researcher II with the North American AED Pregnancy Registry, will share how the Registry works, who can participate, and how women with epilepsy and their providers play a vital role in advancing research that supports future families.
Whether you are considering pregnancy or currently navigating it while managing epilepsy, this webinar offers practical information and a research-based perspective to help guide your next steps.
