Abstract
The paper describes a trial dealing with the effect of the formulation of an antiepileptic drug on therapy efficiency, safety, and compliance in epileptic patients. Switching from sustained-release valproates to Depakine®Chronosphere™ demonstrates how the values of efficiency, safety, and compliance vary with the taken dosage form, which ultimately affects quality-of-life indicators and may give rise to their improvement.
