This International Epilepsy Day (10th February), we are launching ACT FAST, STOP SEIZURES, SAVE LIVES, a campaign to highlight the critical need for rapid intervention in prolonged convulsive seizures. Neuraxpharm
Seizures that last too long can lead to serious complications, including status epilepticus, which requires urgent medical attention. Our aim is to educate and empower the epilepsy community – including patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals – on how to respond effectively to seizure emergencies.
As part of this campaign, we have produced a special video featuring:
🗸 Prof. Matthew Walker, Professor of Neurology at UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology
🗸 Tom Jensen, a person living with epilepsy, who shares his real-life experience.
In this video, we discuss:
🔹The impact of prolonged seizures and their risks
🔹The importance of community access to rescue medication to help prevent complications and reduce hospitalizations
🔹 How early intervention can save lives
Throughout 2025, we will continue sharing educational content to raise awareness and support the epilepsy community in improving seizure management.
