The Bills of Rights for People Living With Epilepsy

5. Special populations of people with epilepsy (e.g. children, adolescents, women of child-bearing age, people with developmental disabilities, the elderly, etc.) have the right to ask about treatment and information appropriate to their specific needs.
Women living with epilepsy have the right to ask about the effects of seizures and AEDs on contraception, fertility, family planning, pregnancy, breast feeding and menopause.

Parents have the right to ask which medications and other treatments are appropriate for use in children with epilepsy.

People living with epilepsy who are taking medications for other conditions (e.g. people with developmental disabilities and the elderly) are encouraged to ask which AEDs are appropriate to take in combination with those medications.
